NYC Hot Chocolate Tour Stop 3: Rigor Hill Market! This is home to my favorite of the 97 cups I tried last year, and I’m happy to report that it keeps its 10/10 rating! This cup is definitely more dessert-like (think: center of a molten lava cake) but is the perfect cup to cozy up with on a bitter winter day. The market itself is home to some excellent pastries, prepared foods, and produce, and is worth checking out even if not for hot chocolate. I’ll be rating many more hot chocolates in the weeks and months to come, so follow along for more, and see my link-in-bio for a full up-to-date list of ratings, and a map to find the cups closest to you! #hotchocolate #tribeca #rigorhillmarket #produce #dessert #nyc #newyorkcity #nycbucketlist #nycfood

Last year I tasted and rated 97 unique cups of hot chocolate in NYC, and I’m so excited to do it all over again! ❄️☕️🍫 November is right around the corner, and it’s finally time to kick off this year’s search for the best cup! Here’s what you need to know… - I’ll be tasting and rating my favorite cups from last year, any that I didn’t get around to trying, and of course, anything new that debuts - my favorite cup, and the only one I rated a 10/10 last year, was from Rigor Hill Market! - I’ll be using the same rating sheet as last year (see link-in-bio) and will be building out a new hot chocolate map using the app Spots (more to come on this!) - TBD if I will do any group hot chocolate tours again, but a few of you have asked, and I’m happy to schedule private tours if of interest (dm or email me) - first official review is coming tomorrow 👀 If you have a cup you love and think I need to try (or retry), share any and all recs in the comments below! #hotchocolate #hotcocoa #newyorkcity #nycbucketlist #nyctodo #holidays #winter #fall #dessert #sweets

Two epic @CaffePanna x @Levain Bakery collaboration items- both of which are inspired by Levain’s Flatiron-exclusive, limited-edition Black & White Cookie (which IMO tastes like a gourmet Oreo). Available *today (5/8) only* at Caffè Panna while supplies last! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ #caffepanna #icecream #gelato #levainbakery #cookies #chocolatechip #blackandwhite #flatiron #gramercy #dessert #affogato #newyorkcity #nyc #nycfood #chocolate #vanilla #sorbet
