New York City Girl at Heart: Max Brenner's Chocolate By The Bald man

One of our most favorite things is...CHOCOLATE!!!! And did we ever find great places to indulge in chocolately goodness in NYC!!!!!!!! One of our most favorites is Max Brenner's Chocolate By The Bald Man at 841 Broadway between 13th and 14th Street (near Union Square).

Now I can't quite remember how we found out about this place....I believe mom saw it in a travel or food magazine and after reading about it and researching it we knew we would find our way there!

That afternoon it was a destination for us so we hopped subways and made our way there. A plesant surprise was a big street fair taking place right down the street in front of the restaurant. It was such a fun atmosphere and we figured we were here - why not check it out!!! So we wandered through a bunch of booths at the fair before heading in.

From the moment you walk through the door you feel as if you are in a chocolately paradise!!!! They have a shop at the front where you can buy all kinds of wonderful things.

We both knew exactly what we wanted! We started off by sharing an appetizer which were potato skins but not like any we'd had before. These were so delicious. They had a cheese sauce on them instead of shredded cheese and were also dusted with cocoa powder!!!! Then for dessert!!!! (Our main course!) A trio that consisted of a scoop of vanilla crepe-flake ice cream, a mini chocolate shake, and the most delicious - most amazing chocolate cake with a liquid chocolate center.....and if that wasn't enough......it had a shaker of chocolate sauce to pour over the top!!!!! Heaven on a plate!!!!!

We really enjoyed our visit and it was a fun atmosphere! I'd highly recommend a visit to Max Brenners! Now, there are only 4 locations in the US and a few internationally. If you find yourself in NYC or maybe even Las Vegas (there is a Max Brenner's at the Caesar's Forum Shops) check it out!!!!!
