Famed chocolatier and pastry chef Jacques Torres is the founder and owner of seven chocolate boutiques in New York. Like his other shops in the city, the 57th Street location offers a mouthwatering selection of everything chocolate. The all-natural, preservative-free treats range from their simply delectable chocolate chip cookies to a decadent frozen hot chocolate, laced with chipotle sauce. Mr. Chocolate, as Jacques Torres is known, places a strong emphasis on the chocolate making process as each piece is prepared entirely by hand. On weekends, the shop serves specialty pastries, such as a flourless chocolate cake, and in the summer, I can attest to them having some of the most outrageous chocolate gelato in the city.
