Since September 2005, culinary historian Alexandra Leaf has been running Chocolate Tours of NYC, but on May 7 she will be keeping her adventures inside in one place, at the 92nd St. Y, for the annual Chocolate Fest. The evening will include tastings of all things chocolate from around the world, alongside cheese and choc-tails. Among the offerings are freshly made chocolate from Amazona Cocoa, Chocolate Fashionista couture-on-a-stick from Drizzle, exotic selections from Joys of Chocolate’s Adrienne Hensen, Aztec hot chocolate from MarieBelle, ganache-in-a-glass from Truffle Shots, the first New York City public tasting of Selva Maya from Bonnat, Pralina di Cavour from DeMartini Cioccolato, handmade toffee from Laurie and Sons, and peanut butter cups from Tumbador. There will also be samplings from Conexión Chocolate, the Atlantic Confectionery Company, Chocolat Moderne and Lucy’s Whey, Liddabit Sweets, Marie Brizard, Penny Lick Ice Cream, Raaka Chocolate, and serendipiTea and appearances by Megan Giller and Rabbi Deborah Prinz. The Chocolate Show continues on hiatus, so this is the next best thing.
