Alison Nelson's Chocolate Bar Reopening on April 28th

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 08:59:15 -0400

As the blogosphere is full of news of openings and closings, we thought we'd transmit one of the happier news items: Alison Nelson herself confirms the quick progress towards re-opening Chocolate Bar in the West Village. When we saw her over the weekend, she stated that April 28th would most likely be opening day, just a bit south and diagonally across lower Eighth Avenue from the original store. Chocolate Bar features some of the most intriguing chocolates in New York, whether square pralines of various exotic flavors or large bars with various fruits and nuts. But it's so much more than that, from chocolate croissants at breakfast to hot chocolate and various hot drinks to chocolate tea and terrific gift shirts, books, and packages. Though it's popular with kids, truth be told Chocolate Bar is paradise for grown-ups. There is always something new, innovative and exciting at Chocolate Bar, and we love to hear the always-intriguing selection of music. Chocolate Bar is one of the many stops you'll find on NYC.com's exclusive self-guided Chocolate Lover's Walking Tour.
