Chocolate Week NYC and Beyond October 06 2017

This week in New York City we are celebrating Chocolate Week NYC for the first time!  A big Thank You to the team behind The Big Chocolate Show for making this week all about chocolate.  While Chocolate Week is new to New York City, it has been a tradition in London for a few  years.  When I first started working for Rococo Chocolates in September 2012 I had no idea what was in store just 4 weeks later.  As their Events Manager I was responsible for all events both in the shops and outside.  That October during Chocolate Week, that meant something everyday!  I am pleased to say I survived all of the chocolate fun that week and still love chocolate.  While Chocolate is the highlight during Chocolate Week NYC a lot of the events are actually available to attend year round.  Here is a short list of chocolate related events to check out on your next trip to NYC.

  • Sign up for Chocolate Rewards at 2Beans – When you sign up for a chocolate rewards card, you get 10% off you first order. When you reach 500 points(or $500) of purchases, you get a $50 2Beans Gift Card.
  • Make your own Chocolate at Voila Chocolate – Featured on Westwide Wednesdays this week, Voila Chocolate offers chocolate making experiences everyday of the year. Watch the video here.
  • Visit The Chocolate Museum and Experience with Jacques Torres – Visitors will learn the history behind making chocolate as well as sample their way through 8 premium tastings. There is even a kids corner for the youngest chocoholics
  • Cacao Prieto Tour – Visit this Brooklyn Chocolate Maker to learn about how they produce their amazing Dominican Chocolate. As a bonus, you also get to sample their rum and whiskey! Tours are offered on Saturdays and Sundays

Happy Chocolate Friday,
