West Village, Chelsea & Meatpacking District


An import from Portland, this peaceful, pretty little shop is the place to go for single-origin chocolate, fine salt, honey and other pantry essentials. The owner selects exquisite chocolate from around the world (and has also written a 300-page book on salt). You may be offered hot, sticky chocolate (blended in-store), or popcorn generously sprinkled with truffle salt.
