A sommelier is on hand to explain the single-origin varietals, guide you through a 50-minute, 10-chocolate tasting—or recommend a dark rum- or brandy-spiked "choctail" at this outpost of the mythical French chocolatier, Michel Cluizel (888 Broadway; 212/477-7335), tucked into ABC Carpet & Home.
The hot chocolate from New York's own cocoa king, Jacques Torres Chocolate (350 Hudson St.; 212/414-2462) is rich and intense enough to qualify as an alternative energy source. Visit the West Village shop and dare to resist taking home a box (or two) of silky champagne truffles.
Kee Ling Tong's exquisitely crafted, globally accented confections—flavored with yuzu, balsamic vinegar, smoked salt—are handmade fresh each morning at Kee's Chocolates (80 Thompson St.; 212/334-3284) and sell out faster than you can say "lemongrass-mint ganache."
