Vosges Haut Chocolates

After our great meal at Balthazar, Chris, my mom, and I walked to Vosges Chocolate to see/taste some chocolate. I remember seeing the founder, Katrina Markoff, in an issue of Town and Country or a bridal magazine because the magazine covered her wedding, so I wanted to check out the store (I think it started in Chicago). Anyway, the store is extremely purple (in a cute way):

We had two pieces of chocolate split among the three of us – a chocolate with sweet Indian curry and coconut and another chocolate with chili peppers. I preferred the Indian curry and coconut (I’m suddenly starting to REALLY like coconut) but the chocolate with chili peppers was interesting – it had a kick as an aftertaste. Two pieces of chocolate cost $5.15, so it’s quite the splurge, but I think the Indian curry with coconut is worth it. On a side note, my mom brought me back some 99% cocoa bars and….MAN they pack a punch (to put it nicely). I think I’ll stick to milk chocolate and hershey kisses.
