Chocolate Tour

If you are looking for a way to recharge or supercharge while touring NY, look no further.  There is enough chocolate in all of these places to get you back on track.

Jacques Torres
With two locations you are covered in both TriBeCa and DUMBO Brooklyn.  The TriBeCa branch is the larger of the two, but even better you can watch the chocolate being made.  After finally finding the TriBeCa store (its kind of hidden), you'll have a good excuse to reward yourself!  Purchase some pralines, sip some hot chocolate or buy a giant bar of chocolate, they have it all.

Max Brenner - The Bald Man
Max Brenner is a chocolate genius - I'm a little surprised that the furniture is not made of chocolate.  His Union Square restaurant is nearly always packed.   The menu has lots of choices, just don't overdo it.  There's also a small store in the front - but it would take a serious chocolate addict to make a purchase after your meal.  Map

MarieBelle
An Old World chocolate experience in the New World.  MariBelle has a Cacao Bar and Tea Salon where you'll think your sipping hot chocolate in Paris or Vienna.  You'll have to make it past the incredible (and tempting) chocolate selection before you head to the cafe.  Map


La Maison du Chocolate
The famous french chocolate store has one of its New York branches in Rockefeller Center.  It's best to mortgage your house before a trip here, you'll need it.  Map - Rockefeller Center store
