NRN.com reports, “Restaurateurs are rolling out assorted tricks and treats to drum up business on Halloween, which this year falls on a Monday.”
“Ranging from the ghoulish and creepy to the downright fun, the many bar, menu and party promotions are designed to raise business on a night that is often dead. ‘It’s always best when Halloween falls on a Friday or Saturday,’ said Chris Mullins, owner of McGillin’s Olde Ale House in Philadelphia. Still, many operators are calling on spirits to bring in the evening’s revelers. Among them, Station 4 in Washington, D.C., is offering $6 cocktail called the True Blood Martini, which is colored with raspberry liqueur and served with a red sugar rim.”
