Dessert in Manhattan


Wilson took me to Black Hound which serves up wonderful desserts. I got a berries in chocolate cup with a vanilla yogurty custard thing. It was sooooo good, I had to take a picture of it! We ate it in New York's Union Square amid skateboarders, crazies, locals, and tourists. There was so much action going on in the street at 11pm at night. It was awesome!

Frozen Hot Chocolate

Amy and Wilson live near Jacques Torres Chocolatier, known for the outstanding chocolates. We stopped in intending to get the highly advertised frozen hot chocolate. They had their normal hot chocolate, but it was a nice summer day, so frozen sounded much better. This was not a frappacino or a milk shake. This was the richest, thickest chocolate milk, frozen to perfection. I got mine spiced (which is like Mexican hot chocolate). It was not too thick to drink through a straw, but heavy enough where I realized that this was hot chocolate on steroids. It was rich and creamy and chocolately and heavenly. I could not finish. As much as I wanted to, my body would tell me that if I took one more sip, I would die from OD-ing on chocolate goodness. So throughout the weekend, I kept the frozen goodness in Amy and Wilson's fridge, and sipped on it every so often. I think I got through 3/4 of it over the next 2 days, and I don't think I ever finished it. It was unforgettable, that was for sure =)
