Chocolate and I New York 2010

Chocolate, no one loves you like i do.

How sweet it is to be in New York!

See, Manhattan and I, we don't always see eye-to-eye on things (i.e. skyrocketing prices and mythical parking spots downtown). Next week, however, my love-hate relationship with this crazy little city will be tipped into full-blown L-O-V-E—not because it's Valentine's Day—because NYC is paying a special tribute to my sexy sweetheart: chocolate!

Chocolate and I New York is an annual gourmet chocolate appreciation extravaganza (i.e. chocolate heaven) that brings together chocolatiers, chocolate experts, chocoholics, cacao growers (and "cacao alchemists"), dessert chefs, food lovers, art enthusiasts, and just about anyone who has ever been taken by the so-called "food of love." And I'm very, very, excited to be part of it this year. I'm a volunteer and I'm doing it for L-O-V-E. 

The fun starts on Monday, Feb. 8 and there's a lot of chocolate-y things going on (see list of events here). I'm pretty excited about chocolate pairings (chocolate and sake, anyone?), chocolate tastings by premier chocolatiers (hello, Michel Cluizel!), and meeting WD-50's Alex Stupak! The event runs all week, all the way up to the Hearts Day on the 14th. Quickly, here's the info:

Chocolate and I New York, Feb 8 - 14, 2010
