...used to be Lunettes et Chocolat. Tragically it has closed (which i only found out in researching this blog). I'm sad, but will be able to console myself in the new MarieBelle store opening on Madison in the 60s.
Lunette et Chocolat was an adorable store in Nolita that sold glasses and chocolates and ages ago there was a cafe in the back where they sold the world's best lemonade and alfajores. Sigh.
Anyway, the chocolates sold at Lunette et Chocolat were MarieBelle chocolates. They also have the traditional hot chocolate...not the runny Swiss Miss stuff, but the thick just-melted-chocolate-bar kind, the kind that turns to pudding if you take it outside in the cold, the kind that you dream about, the kind of hot chocolate that makes you wish they had it on rainy days at camp, the kind that makes you feel like an adult because it's so decadent...That kind of hot chocolate. (they also have it at Ladurée but it's way too early in the year for a hot chocolate post).
Anyways, the post that was supposed to be about the new store opening turned into a rant. I'm just a little shocked to find out my favorite store closed...and who even knows when?
