Chocolate Bar

You may have heard about a magical time when a place called Chocolate Bar served up homemade lemon fizzy's and egg creams the old fashion way, with a hand-held seltzer bottle and CO2 cartridge. Well they are back. New York's favorite Chocolate Bar has just re-opened in the West Village right down the street from their first location. View the video. Chocolate Bar is known for its warm neighborhood village vibe and fusion of fun treats and New York art courtesy of the vision of the proprietor, Alison Neilson. Alison wanted to provide a place where New Yorkers could have fun chocolate in a setting that screamed New York art. Chocolate Bar is a collaboration of artistic interests that range from chocolate treats to wrappers designed by local artists.

Chocolate bar is complete with a full espresso bar; refreshing ice chocolate drinks; delicious desserts that include pies to brownies and more. Desserts are baked by Allison’s talented Sister and pastry chef of Long Island Beach, Meg.
