A wise woman once said, "If you can't find love, at least find chocolate." It's a good thing that Master Chocolatier Eric Girerd found his way from his native France to Manhattan so many years ago, in order to help out the locals. His tiny shoebox-sized storefront in the Chelsea neighborhood beckons you with a window display of bite-sized beauties, each offering just the right balance of rich chocolate mixed with exotic flavorings like curry, ginger, and lemongrass.  

Girerd is also the Vice President of the U.S. Chapter of L’Academie Culinaire de France, working with brilliant artisans, producers, and experts to help the industry at large keep abreast of cutting-edge of food technology and excellence. So, this also means that you can expect nothing but culinary genius in every bite of everything that Eric makes! Insider's Tip: Jersey City residents get to visit the L'atelier du Chocolat factory and cafe on their side of the Hudson River, just across from the Grove Street PATH station.

Everyone knows that chocolate is good for you! Doctors and nutritionists say that the components in this sweet treat can lower stress, elevate mood, and even help keep your heart healthy. On top of that, gifting friends and loved ones a box of cocoa creations is always a good idea for any holiday, all year round -- from Valentine's Day to Easter, Mother's Day to Thanksgiving. In New York City, chocolatiers from near and far have brought their talent to the Big Apple, and that means that locals and tourists alike can pop in and indulge their cravings every day of the week!
