L.A. Burdick Handmade Chocolates in NYC
Alright: I admit that I thought that L.A. Burdick was the outpost of a chocolate store from Los Angeles. It is in fact the project of pastry Chef Larry A Burdick who decided to open his own venture back in 1987 after successfully working at Bouley for few years. And we only found recently his chocolate store located on Prince street, a day we were looking for a hot chocolate, the weather being perfect for it. The first time was a grab and go, but we came back a couple of weeks after to sit at one of the few tables.

It is a small place for sure, that serves more than hot chocolate: they have chocolate bars, coffee and tea, cookies, as well as an impressive selection of chocolates.
The hot chocolate is quite good and they have a good variety of it. My favorite is the Burdick blend milk chocolate that is rich, intense and not too sweet, with a nice thickness.

The white chocolate one is a bit different: less thick and sweeter. For sure you need to like white chocolate as it is not mix with dark or milk chocolate at all. I like white chocolate and admit that the taste was interesting and, although I prefer the milk one, I kept going at it.

So it was good and for me, L.A. Burdick is one of my top 5 favorites in the city.
