Unique Chocolate Experiences In New York City

hot chocolate

For those with a sweet tooth wanting to explore beyond your everyday chocolate shops, New York City is home to quirky, innovative and experiential cocoa fare. Chocoholics can choose to explore NYC in a self-guided fashion or book a tour with New York Chocolate Tours , a company providing chocolate-themed walking excursions.

Then there’s Max Brenner , which is essentially a chocolate museum, showcasing (and serving!) chocolate nuts, bonbons, truffles, bars, syringes, teas, fondues, cakes, pizzas, cocoas, shots, shakes, cocktails, crepes, waffles and much more.

baconery

Carnivores craving candy can head to the Baconery to sink their teeth into bacon brownies, chocolate- and sprinkle-covered birthday bacon, chocolate bacon pretzel rods, chocolate peanut butter bacon cookies and red velvet bacon cakes. Pepper heads should visit Tumbador Chocolate and sample their chile-infused Holy Mole and Dulce de Chile bars or their spicy Hot Hot Chocolate.

For some indulgence that’s good for the body, Madison Spa offers a delicious yet holistic “Chocolate Delight Wrap,” which slims the body using fat-free chocolate, and a “Chocolate Caramel Delight Wrap,” where you become wrapped in the sweet treat. And if you’re around in November, NYC hosts it’s annual Chocolate Show, the country’s largest show dedicated to the sweet treat.

mast brothers chocolate

Interested in learning the art of chocolate-making? Tache Chocolate offers a range of sugary classes at their Lower East Side factory and cafe. While you make your own chocolates — which you’ll artfully package in beautiful wrapping — sip a thick mug of whipped cream-topped cocoa. Classes typically take place daily at 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm and 7pm. You can also head to Mast Brothers Chocolate , a boutique chocolate factory and shop in Brooklyn taking sustainable chocolate making to a new level. Here you can watch artisanal chocolate being made and enjoy free samples.

  • paulmK1723BL 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Christmas Lights Tour Christmas in New York is a popular destination and on many bucket lists, with the Rockefeller tree, Christmas window displays and a carriage in Central Park in the snow being the front page of the travel brochure choices. However, if this is as far as you manage to venture then I’m afraid you are missing out on the full New York Christmas experience, and buddy, it ain’t in Manhattan. The Christmas lights in Brooklyn began in the eighties with Lucy Spata in the Dyker Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn. Nearly four decades later and the area shines brighter than the lights on broadway and Times Square combined. Displays boast extreme Christmas decorations that include animatronic characters and in one case a 15 foot Santa. Getting to the area is not easy on public transport and in a private car, FUHGETTABOUDIT!! However, the kind people of A Slice Of Brooklyn bus tours are on hand to get you to the hot spots and a few bonus places too. We were picked in Union Square by the bus with a warm Brooklyn welcome and a local tour guide that was informative and entertaining. Once you get to Dyker Heights you are guided on foot through the area, which is perfect for photography and getting those all important social media posts and unique Christmas photos for loved ones. You get tips for the best photo ops and staff are happy to take photos for you, so you don’t have to trust strangers with your phone. There’s plenty of rime to take everything in and absorb the Christmas atmosphere. As a bonus after you get back on the bus you get taken to Sam the Greeks house which is decked out with stunning lights, Christmas trees and hundreds of festive ornaments. The whole experience made my Christmas this year and I cannot recommend this tour enough. Thank you to Tony and the whole Slice of Brooklyn team for an unforgettable experience.
