Last Saturday my daughter and I attended our first-ever chocolate painting class. It exceeded our expectations, as we created a memorable and lasting experience. When we arrived at the boutique-style Atelier Disset store, we met other participants and were greeted by our host Cristina. She introduced us to the chocolate artist Ursula, who proceeded to explain all the details about the workshop.

I can’t wait for their next “Ode to the North Fork” to come out. If you need a gift, they have an amazing selection of chocolates in...
   Read moreWhen I stopped by Atelier Disset to get some chocolate I knew that I would find great products. This elegant yet intimate location had been recommended to me by a close friend. However, I wasn’t prepared for the whimsical experience that followed. I purchased a box of Thanksgiving special edition Bonbons. On the way to Manhattan, my companion and I decided to try one each, but, once we started, we couldn’t stop and proceeded to have an impromptu chocolate-tasting private party in the car. Each bite was an explosion of flavors due to the authentic combination of ingredients. The Bonbons, artfully crafted, were all phenomenal, although my favorite was the “marshmallow butternut squash”. Needless to say, we ate the entire box. Thank you for allowing us to experience an early...
