"Chocolatier L.A. Burdick was founded in New York City in 1987, and there are currently seven locations around the country, including this one on Prince Street. Painted with stripes of green and gold, the little shop is lined with a handcrafted chocolates in bar and bonbon form. It’s a great place to pick up a gift—like a set of the signature chocolate mice—but you can also pop in for a coffee, pastry, or cup of extra thick and sweet hot chocolate. For quality Soho people-watching, snag one of the tables on the sidewalk." - Bryan Kim
