Delaware is such a small state, but widely known to have a big heart. Downtown Rehoboth Beach is one square mile full of restaurants, shops, and galleries, and entertainment. Let’s not forget that it is a destination for year-round fun. A wide beach, an award-winning boardwalk…and even though the restaurants serve unique and amazing foods….the Boardwalk grub will have you come back again and again. It’s true.
“Get Down In Town” is such a fun event. On Friday, April 4th, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., Rehoboth Beach Main Street will host this event that is now in its 4th year. It is a special evening of really great deals, accompanied with fantastic appetizers and desserts from your favorite restaurants inside participating downtown Rehoboth shops.
To be a part of this one-night charitable event of discounts and food, you can purchase $10 glow necklaces. Proceeds from the sale of the necklaces will go to Rehoboth Elementary School’s PTO and RICI which is Rehoboth Inspired Chefs’ Initiative. Glow necklaces can be purchased the night of the event or in advance at:
Azura Clothing, 139 Rehoboth Avenue
Bellmoor, 6 Christian Street
Carlton’s, 31 Rehoboth Avenue
Heidi Lowe Gallery, 328 Rehoboth Avenue
Rehoboth Beach Main Street, 28 Lake Avenue
Participants can also enter a drawing to win thousands of dollars in gifts and prizes from Rehoboth merchants.
This local fundraising event is for such a good local cause. The phrase “shop local, dine local” could not be more appropriate. If you have visited Rehoboth Beach, I am sure you have to agree that there is no better place where you can wine, dine, walk and shop with ease. After all that shopping, relaxing with friends for cocktails or dinner is always a must, and Rehoboth had plenty accommodations which include, hotels, and B & Bs.

Have a great day!!

I joined my fellow Crawlers, Jody and Jade, as we helped raise funds for the local charities of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The Rehoboth Beach Cocoa Crawler was celebrating its second year and for the looks of it….I think people were loving and enjoying every minute of it.
There was a definite chill in Rehoboth Beach. We needed to get our wristbands. They were only $10. The proceeds going to the charities.
The welcoming committee was Maggio Shields Real Estate. They were in charge of selling the bands. They were a happy bunch.
From the Maggio Cafe, at First Street Station, and next to Maggio Shields Real Estate, we were offered tomato bisque. It was warm and delicious.
Grotto Pizza was also part of the welcoming committee…an institution in Rehoboth Beach.
The sun was beginning to set quickly…it is that time of the year. So pretty and crisp. Rehoboth Beach was crowded and hardly any parking available.
Jody, Jade and I decided to stop for dinner at Lily Thai on North 1st St.
They had the Pad Thai, which was very good
I had the Crispy Eggplant in a Chili Sauce with Shrimp…delicious. I do love this dish.
Now that our energies were recharged, we continued to crawl. Our next stop was going to be a shop on Baltimore Avenue that has been there for about 30 years. Crysti. There is a post in the making, but, in the meantime, meet Joyce and Crysti.
The best local restaurants were inside participating stores. At Crysti, Dog Fish Head was serving…beer, of course. But, check the dessert they had available; the bacon chocolate cheesecake. It is available at the restaurant in Downtown Rehoboth Beach.
Outside people were chatting and having a great time. Drinks on hand everyone was crawling through the streets.
By this time, another fellow crawler, joined our group. He is right there on the picture with Jade. His name? Michael from Stephan & Co. Salon & Spa. Jade also works at the salon. I have to write a post on them soon.
Our next stop was Browseabout Books, where we found Cake Break. They were serving mini cupcakes. Perfect because they just popped in your mouth. Not too much guilt, either. Cake Break can now ship gluten free cupcakes and other gluten free baked goods.
Crawling away, we continued….and we found only one dog doing his crawling while wearing his sweater.
We continue on a crawling mode and stopped to see a sign that rain, shine or hurricane…it is always there, reminding us that salt water taffy is still so good.
At Carltons on Rehoboth Avenue we found Lupo di Mare.
They were serving “pot de creme”.
Crawling back to First Street Station, we noticed that there were still people shopping at the Penny Lane Mall.
At First Street Station, Paul Cullen was entertaining the crowds and serving his wines. A future post in the making.
And, then, the crawlers gathered. There was going to be a drawing. You had to be there to win. Well, we did not win, but Danielle did. That was the end of a perfect evening, spending it with friends. Priceless, don’t you think?
So, it was time to go home….a total success it was….
