Ocean City Today
FEBRUARY 14, 2014
Stop by 19 WOC businesses and sample chocolaty treats Continued from Page 44 Because some prizes contain alcohol, players must be at least 21 to enter. There will be an after-party at the restaurant, where a buy-one-get-one special for an entrée and appetizer runs from 4-7 p.m. for those with a “Death By Chocolate” reservation. Reardon suggests make dinner reservations in advance for Sunset Grille under the “Death By Chocolate” name, though those without reservations can still enjoy the specials at the bar. Those specials start at 1 p.m. and include $3.25 wine, $1.75 domestic beer, $4 orange crushes and $4 chocolate martinis in honor of the event. Reardon and Patterson-Hohman got the idea for Death By Chocolate from another town. “It was so successful that we took it and brought it to Ocean City,” Reardon said. Each year participation grows and new merchants this year include Bungalow 7, Impact Home Technology and The Children’s Book Garden, she said. Bliss Salon & Spa is one of the returning businesses, back for its sixth year with Bliss chocolate for everyone who enters, owner Beth Miller said. “It’s just a fun event and it gets people in your store — people that normally wouldn’t come in to small, local stores,” she said. “People bring their family (or) friends and make a day of it.” Players should keep an eye out for a chocolate fountain or drink at Bliss this year, she added. “It’s a great event,” said Chris Butler, manager at Wockenfuss Candies, which will dish up chocolate-covered strawberries and other sweet treats this year. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s brings in a lot of locals,” she said. Some players make a day of Death By Chocolate, visiting some merchants in the morning, stopping for lunch and continuing on into the evening, Reardon said. It is free to participate in the game and sample the chocolates at each business. Last year, just over 500 people took part in the game. “What else can you do in the dead of
