Roses on Chocolate Ave - Dinner in Hershey

Short version:
Dinner before the screaming. Hershey Social downtown at 4:00 on [date] — smash burgers, a martini flight, and a fried Twizzlers cheesecake that has to be seen. Separate from Dark Nights and no park ticket needed, so come for just this if you'd rather skip the haunted houses.

Before anyone gets chased through a fog machine, we eat.
We're starting the night at the newest spot in downtown Hershey.
Hershey Social opened this spring in the old Houlihan's space and turned it into something completely different — a wraparound bar, a bright open room, and a menu that's exactly what you want before a long night on your feet. Smash burgers, wings with Hershey's-inspired sauces, and a pierogi flatbread people won't shut up about.
The desserts are aggressively over-the-top in the way only this town does: a sundae that arrives with a sparkler, a Reese's Take 5 piecaken, and a fried Twizzlers cheesecake. There's also a martini flight. I'm just putting that out there....

This is a separate RSVP from Dark Nights. It's downtown, nowhere near the park gates, so no ticket is needed and you're welcome to come to just this. Dinner, drinks, dessert, done — and if haunted houses aren't your thing, this is a perfectly complete night out with us.

For everyone doing both: we eat at 4:00 and roll out by 5:30 so we're parked and through the gates before the dark comes down at 6.
Please be on time. They hold tables, and downtown Hershey on a fall weekend is not a place to be running late.
