Hosive

when people come into the city, we are always surprised by where they want to visit or to go eat. they are equally surprised that we do not frequent those places or want to go eat there. no. i do not want to eat at ruby tuesdays , bennigans or tgifridays in times square. then they ask where we go……so here are the places we like…not the best or the cheapest or whatever category….just where we go and go on a regular basis…

when we want to indulge in a major chocolate orgy, we come here. they have dozens of permutations of hot chocolates and shakes and desserts and drinks….q tried a chocolate beer here once. luckily for theresa, there are also white chocolate options.

this was part two of the eating tour i took my friend, regina, on. after savory, she was feeling something sweet and asked if i knew any place around where we were. i calmly replied: i do.

now there’s chocolate and then there’s d-mn good chocolate. this is d-mn good chocolate. another place in the city that exposes the fact that others have been serving you counterfeit stuff all your life.

we got a sampler….chocolate banana waffle, chocolate shot with pop rocks, chocolate cake, ice cream with chocolate sauce and some other chocolate concoction. yummy luxurious goodness…along with our hot chocolates and chocolate shakes. any drinks i get here are usually dark chocolate….for ice cream beverages, i also like to add peanut butter.

i am content coming here with guests. more than that and i will wind up blowing up like the blueberry girl in charlie’s chocolate factory.

this place has been described as willie wonka for adults…and the killer thing about chocolate culture in the city is that this place is not first in everyone’s heart. they debate between max brenner and another dude that i will review in the future.
