"Verdict: This East End tiny chocolate shop is where sugar-fueled tastings take place behind a hidden bookcase. The evening consists of three courses of chocolates filled with high-end spirits and liqueurs like gin and carajillo. This makes the tasting menu feel fun because you spend the evening tossing back rounds of candy-coated shots. Plus, the booze is a welcome complement to the chocolates—tequila goes down surprisingly smooth when wrapped in Venezuelan chocolate and candied mandarin. Seatings for Case Chocolates fill up quickly, so plan if you want a primetime reservation. 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
