This is no joke. National Chocolate Day actually exists, and it comes to us chocolate-lovers on October 28th. A mere few days before Halloween! Check out our top five chocolate shops in New York City to stop in!
Francois Payard Patisserie: The famed dessert chef has many shops throughout the city, but our favorite resides on the Upper East Side. The patisserie has healthy bites for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and tons of chocolate. From truffles to chocolates, to cakes and macarons, they’ve got it all.
Jacques Torres: Another famous chocolatier has quite a few shops in NYC. They have creative chocolate combinations and even chocolate covered cheerios. You won’t be able to resist them!
L.A. Burdick: This chocolate shop has a huge array of candy. They even have a special range of Halloween goodies to prep you for the upcoming holiday.
La Maison du Chocolat: This Parisian chocolate store has world class ganaches, as well as pastries, macarons and more. Make sure you stop by this place.
Dylan’s Candy Bar: This famous store has more than just chocolates. A multi-story haven of candy is at your disposal at this hot spot. But don’t worry, there’s plenty of chocolates to find at this place, including fudge!
It can be said that Chocolate Day is all about eating chocolate…but in reality, it is so much more than that. It is about celebrating most of the world’s favorite indulgence. And that means it’s time to do more than just eat it!
