"Bad Habit is an East Village ice cream shop with hot chocolate that’s almost chowder-like in its thickness, topped with a brûléed, oversized homemade marshmallow. You’d be better served spooning it into your mouth than trying to sip it, and it makes for a perfect warmer after a winter stroll in Tompkins Square Park. If you’re more in the mood for a pick-me-up than a put-me-to-sleep drink, Bad Habit also does hot chocolate affogatos—half-cocoa, half-espresso—with their rotating slate of similarly rich ice creams." - will hartman, carina finn koeppicus, nikko duren
