During Valentine's Day, I took someone with me to Royce' Chocolate for her first-ever tasting, and…read moreit was the highlight of the day. The service during the tour was great. She never thought chocolate and potato chips would make such a great pairing. The flowers made the scene more pleasant, and I couldn't be happier that she left with a gift basket. The place has a feel that honestly resembles a jewelry store. This location makes it seem like you're picking out a ring or something special, but really, you're just choosing your favorite piece of candy.

They give samples usually without asking, but for this one the girl didn't. She didn't seem happy, didn't smile once, and wasn't very welcoming What's odd is they ask for a tip when checking out. Don't get it. Tip for what? Checking someone out and handing them a sample? I asked for a sample and the toothpick she took to give it to me fell on the counter. She picked it up and used it anyway instead of just throwing it out. Weird. Hopefully the counter was clean

You have to get an assortment of the chocolates--there's something for everyone, and they always feel special and indulgent. It's become part of the fun to bring them home and let everyone pick their favorites. I suggest the following - bring your own tote so you don't have to pay for a bag (and you'll save a little paper, too). Pricey, yes--but for us, totally worth it once a year.

Originally was looking for a sundae dessert shop open late in the Herald Square area and ended up…read morehere. One thing is, for sure, Ghiradelli is expensive and touristy but delivers a consistently solid sundae. Located right next to Empire State Building, this location is smaller than you would think and has only a precious few seats. Half or more of the space is for buying chocolates or lining up. Likely a better stop for to-go orders. The sundaes and ice cream treats are good though, thick ice cream combines with Ghiradelli fudge and chocolate squares. Each sundae averages around $17-22 though so be aware.

I mean, it's pricey, but their hot fudge sundaes are yummy. Small interior but we were able to sit…read moredown - got a nice selection of chocolates as well.

All of their chocolate is shipped directly from Switzerland, which makes the experience feel extra special. The staff was incredibly sweet and welcoming they let us sample the milk chocolate with hazelnut, and wow... it was so smooth and delicious. Not overly sweet at all just perfectly balanced. The store itself was very spacious, clean, and beautifully laid out. We had the chance to try a few different chocolates, but we couldn't resist going back for more of the milk chocolate with hazelnut. On top of that, the attendant at the front surprised us with even more samples, which was such a thoughtful touch. I'll definitely be back!

The wait time is about 15 minutes before you're at the front of the line. I ordered the single hot chocolate with a confetti marshmallow and Reeses Cup on top.

I love Lindt chocolate so I was very happy with this concept. There was a bunch of flavors laid out…read morethroughout the store and I was able to mix and match what Lindt chocolates I wanted as well as how much I wanted! My fiancé and I had a lot of fun looking at all of the choices they had. There were some regular flavors like Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate but there were also some fun flavors like Pumpkin Spice, Milk Chocolate Sea Salt. On top of all of this, there is an option of prepackaged Lindt chocolates as well as different chocolate barks by the entrance. Definitely a fun thing to do with your friends as well!

This is the new flagship location of Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG, which is better known…read moreas Lindt. They're also across the street from a flagship Ghirardelli store, which they also own, if you aren't aware. In general, I find Lindt too sweet, but that is also coming from someone who is a dark chocolate lover. For this location specifically, the staff here are friendly and give samples, which is a plus. Anyway, if you're wondering why you'd want to stop here instead of just going to the literal CVS around the corner which sells their products, you can customize stuff better here, and there are many more options. Along with the standard truffles they are famous for, there are flavors available only at this location, as well as seasonal ones. Some current ones include shortbread, made with milk chocolate, as well as a snickerdoodle, which I didn't realize was made with white chocolate, or else I wouldn't have purchased that one (it was still tasty,) and others. The truffles are around 62¢ post-tax for a single one, so it's a little cheap and tasty treat. Outside of truffles, there are bars, some fancier chocolates, and bark, among many other things. Of course, there's a Dubai option like every other chocolatier in case you want to purchase a cheapo version here. Obviously, the chocolates in general are not as high-quality as Läderach, Li-Lac, and other spots, but they are at very different price points, so that's to be expected. The latter spots are more artisanal, while this is a step up from Hershey's "chalk-olate" and other cheaper brands. If you're looking to buy a gift without paying an exorbitant price but still want a step up from Hershey's or similar places, I would recommend going here.

The great reviews and overall rating along with the fact they had an emphasis on sour beers (my wife's favorite style of beer) made it a no brainer. Also as you have likely seen they are a women-owned operation so another positive. We did mistakingly walk by it at first but quickly found it. It's a beautifully designed space and more unique than your typical brewery space. Also speaking of they have lots of drinks other than beers, including wines, ciders, cocktails, coffee and a couple NA beers. Due to the impending storm they were closing early but my wife and I each got a beer. I got their New England IPA called Sun Up which was citrusy and juicy with a touch of bitterness/hoppy notes. Then my wife got their fruited sour Peach Berry Punch that definitely had a punch of pink guava and peach but the berry was more subtle. Two great beers with plenty of other styles available too. Service was friendly with a smile and took no time to get our beers. Such a positive experience we plan on returning to give their cocktails a try! An absolute must visit for beer lovers who find themselves near Bryant Park! (Also non-beer lovers since they offer so much more too.)

Convenient location situated in the newly renovated Moynihan Train Hall. First thing I ever tried…read morehere was the "Amanda's Case", which is 40 pieces of dark and milk chocolate almonds. It didn't wow me. Tasted pretty much like your standard chocolate almonds. I recently decided to give this place another shot to try their highly-raved macarons and OMG... didn't expect a macaron to change my life. The chocolate ganache is heavenly. My favorite might be the "Sylvia", which is milk chocolate ganache + hints of caramel. The worker behind the counter was kind and helpful. I purchased two macaron sets, informing her that one was a present. She graciously offered me an extra gift bag.

How have I never written a review of this remarkable chocolate shop?!…read more La Maison du Chocolat is my all-time favorite chocolate. I am a devotee of dark chocolate, and have tried every dark offering it has. Each is superb, even flavor combinations I haven't historically adored (like orange and chocolate - I know it's popular, but it's just not my favorite). That said, my personal favorite is the Anastasia, a hazelnut and dark praline enrobed in dark chocolate. It is exquisite. Service is always excellent. I've ordered in person and over the phone, and have always been so pleased with the staff. The website is helpful when ordering a variety, but if you'd like an entire box of Anastasia, for example, you have to call the Rockefeller Center store and place the order by phone. They ship once a week, and I always have my box fairly quickly. Boxes make terrific gifts ... including for yourself. If you're walking in, I recommend sitting down to enjoy a few pieces of chocolate, then taking the rest in a box with you. There is a cozy but comfortable seating area in the back just for this. This area is also an ideal place to enjoy some of their drinking chocolate. Highly, highly recommend.
