Kristen Beckmeyer, part owner of Coastal Cupcakes, and a new intern (a little help with her name, please, I forgot to write it down) displayed samples of the wares from their store located on the corner of 2nd and Princess.
Front Street Brewery certainly broke out the food. Under the banner there was a generous set up of chips and salsa.
And in the back corner there were four hot trays of amazing hot appetizers. 
I'll betcha if you thought about going but decided not to, this food alone will get you there next month.

A newcomer to town, Patrick Grassi is recently out of the service and just arrived in Wilmington and moved in downtown this week. Welcome, Patrick.
This was a great turnout for the first in what will likely be a long series of Downtown Wilmington Meet & Greets. Thanks to everyone at Front Street - you got this off to a great start. As usual, Wilmington area residents and business folk showed that if you hold a networking event, people will come.
Update - shortly after originally posting this Ellie Craig wrote to tell me that after I left the event got "wild" - in a good way. I guess the crowd got even bigger. Can't wait till next month. Way to go, FSB!!
