LITTLE ITALY. The Big Easy found a little corner of its own in Little Italy with the Blue Parrot. The mural-painted building depicting a French Quarter scene hosts a party scene of its own. The Parrot offers Creole crawfish, po'boys and New Orleans fare, a "Voodoo Bar" and the best of rockabilly and blues. Live bands play Tuesday - Saturday and at Sunday brunch. It's Mardi Gras every week. On the Bar Loop, some "loopsters" start and stay here. Check website for band schedule, special drink menus, photos and events.

TROLLEY SQUARE. Catherine Rooney's Irish Pub and Restaurant is a neighborhood establishment in the heart of the Trolley Square. Daytime it attracts the business lunch crowd and serves traditional Irish and American fare. With decor of brick walls, Irish flags and and all things soccer and rugby, it is a great place to soak up some Irish heritage along with a Guinness. During happy hour, the pub gets busy 4-7pm, and drink specials are offered 5pm to close. Young professionals keep the energy high. DJs and Karaoke nights are weeknights, live Irish bands Saturday nights after 9pm keep the crowds dancing. Catherine's sports bar cousin, C.R. Hooligans, is next door; both are Trolley Square favorites.

DOWNTOWN. The Grand Opera House is the venue for performances year-round in Downtown. It is said, "It All Happens at The Grand," and it's true! Built in 1871, but restored to its original grandeur with the latest technologies in sound and lighting. With fewer than 1200 seats, the theater offers intimate, live performances by top talent. Home to the Delaware Symphony, Opera Delaware, First State Ballet, Contemporary Stage Company and City Theater Company, the Grand and Baby Grand, a 300-seat venue adjacent, include a diverse schedule of music and entertainment including local and touring bands, music, dance, comedy and December holiday performances. See website for details.

TROLLEY SQUARE. Kid's is a great restaurant anytime, but after hours, they push the tables back and the dancing begins. Live entertainment on Wednesdays and Fridays; on Thursdays, a DJ spins 80's dance music for ladies' nights and the place is packed with a 30s+ crowd. The big four-sided bar provides plenty of room for seating, but there is standing room and tables for more.
