"Case Chocolates feels like what Willy Wonka would have created if he had an affinity for liquor. Each chocolate is rich and tastes like it should be wrapped in a golden ticket. The East End speakeasy is hidden behind a bookcase in a tiny chocolate shop and has a tasting that consists of three courses of chocolates filled with high-end spirits and liqueurs like gin and carajillo. And while it’s undeniably boozy, the alcohol doesn’t overpower the chocolate. Go to Case Chocolate for a unique next date night or when you’re in the market for a fun combination of liquor and chocolate. Reservations at Case Chocolates open about three weeks in advance, so set your alarm to get your ideal reservation time. If you’re antsy about getting in front of some bourbon-filled chocolate, your best bet is perusing the availability for a weekday tasting time." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
