ATHLEISURE LIST: NYC
THE WONDERBON CHOCOLATE CO. Although we have been enjoying warm temperatures, there is something about being able to enjoy hot choclate during the winter. We found ourselves this month at The Wonderbon Chocolate Co. which opened on Feb 1st of this year as a pop up to mark the Hot Chocolate Festival that Hot Chocolate Maker Maury Rubin created and ran for 28 years each February at City Bakery.
Two sizes are available as a 4oz. "Shot" for $4 and an 8oz. "Regular" for $5.50. We enjoyed their Hot Chocolate Happy Hour which takes place Monday - Friday from 5-7pm. They serve a rotational flight menu. We enjoyed Mezcal-Spiked Hot Chocolate with an Onyx Cocoa-Salted Rim, White Chocolate Hot Chocolate with Walnut Liquor, Bourbon Hot Chocolate with Chocolate Whipped Cream and a regular hot chocolate without alcohol. These all come in the shot sizes.
This pop-up shop is meant to announce the creation of The Wonderbon Chocolate Co., a brand new chocolate company based primarly on hot chocolate. For the next 3 months, guests will be able to enjoy the treats offered here and there is a chance that it will continue as a location beyond this time period.
