#chocolateweekend Live Updates

Saturday will be a little different, mostly because doing live broadcasts from 13 locations in 6 hours is pretty much impossible. Instead, I'll be blogging and updating via this little blog post. I hope by visiting these places, you might enjoy them as much as I do!

Here we go-

11:52am- Late start, but great start at Nunu Chocolate on Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn. Beautiful interior and great place to relax, plus great chocolate treats. They are not chocolatiers, rather confectioners, as they do not produce chocolate, only use it to make treats with. They use Santander chocolate, a famous Colombian chocolatier. Colombia is a cocoa (and coca) hotspot and borders two other cocoa havens, Ecuador and Venezuela. Santander always finishes cloudy and thick, almost milky or malty. Nunu makes great caramels and has beer on tap... Uh oh.

12:15pm- Ok I had a few caramels and beers at Nunu. It's going to be an interesting day...

12:17pm- Here are some issues I'm seeing so far- it would help to see on the passport on which day and which hours the companies without stores are going to be where. Rescue Chocolates made it clear, but Raaka, Sweetriot, Chocolove, and tu chocolate did not.

12:39pm- Damn it, Raaka, there is no Farmer's market at 5th Ave and 4th St in Park Slope! I'm there! Where is it?

12:52pm- Alright! Cocoa Bar delivers. This is only my second visit to this location. It's better oriented, stretched longways compared to their LES location. The latter is better for large groups, though. They have a seasonal pumpkin spice latte, which I am sure is amazing. I went for a lunch of a bagel and iced coffee. I'm trying to decide which treat to do for dessert. They sell Tumbador chocolates!

1:35pm- Made it to The Chocolate Room on 5th Ave. They feature Knipschildt bon bons and 10% off their goods. They always have a sample something out and right now it has brownie pieces. Check out their selection of bars, as they are mostly really awesome.
