Chocolate-Themed Co Co. Sala Is Closing February 24 - Eater DC

"Co Co. Sala, the combination gourmet chocolate shop and cacao-obsessed restaurant that debuted a decade ago in Penn Quarter, is closing Saturday, February 24. The RAMMY Award-winning restaurant, which is overseen by executive pastry chef and Food Network alum Santosh Tiptur, has catered to sweets lovers with 3-course and 5-course dessert tasting menus, specialty cocktails laced with chocolate, and indulgent brunch offerings ranging from ricotta pancakes with white chocolate cream and French toast s’mores to chocolate-rum cupcakes. The niche eatery got a shot in the arm in late 2011 when then-first lady Michelle Obama stopped in for dinner." - Warren Rojas
