A Hang-Over Fix
It had been a long night. Celebrating with my roommate upon the finding of an attractive, heterosexual, man in New York City-he even had an accent- I happily crashed on the couch.
Upon rising, I realized that our overnight guest had multiplied. We suddenly had multiple English gremlins one of which I nearly tripped over on the way to the bathroom. Apparently, male English twenty-somethings have maintained their pack mentality...even when hooking-up.
Resenting the sexy bartender that had talked me into another shot of Makers Mark...I eventually got myself together and headed to SoHo....I needed something to get rid of this hangover.
Meeting a friend at Dean and Deluca, we wandered... stumbled... along the cobbled stone streets of SoHo. Past the credible posers at Felix, we found...to our surprise... a total gem of a chocolate shop. Called Kee Chocolatier, this cozy shop was comfortably filled with hungry SoHo denizens along with the smells of chocolate and other pleasant aromas. Because of the exposed brick walls, the small shop needed little decoration apart from the glass shelves displaying the lovely handmade bon-bons. Kee herself was to my excitement busy at work in the exposed kitchen stirring and mixing, folding, and shaping. "Isn't a drink the best thing for a hang-over"... I asked my companion. Agreeing with myself...I confidently purchased a champagne infused dark chocolate bon-bon. I took a bite and declared... "freakin delicious".
Heading up to Union Square, I insisted that we stop at Max Brenner:Chocolate By the Bald Man. The large, multi-level space with an assembly line kitchen as its focal point, would seem more at home in Times Square or a sub-urban mall food court. Yet, the incredible smells of chocolate fondue and fresh waffles, of all things, made me giddy and lifted my spirits. As I wandered toward some truffles, I quickly settled upon a dark chocolate truffle infused with whiskey. As I picked up additional truffles for my roomates, I had a thought, and decided to grab a few more....just in case our overnight guests were still around.
