"Choc NYC is a bakery so good that it’ll make you wish you lived next door. This place bakes their own croissants, pastries, tarts, and cakes in the back, and it’s best to swing by first thing in the morning for a latte and one of the must-try caramelized croissants (some even come dipped in chocolate), a muffin, or a pistachio eclair. With an excellent selection of desserts for a crowd—we like the classic chocolate layer cake and seasonal baked fruit tarts—keep this place in mind the next time a holiday or special occasion pops up." - Willa Moore, Nikko Duren, Matt Tervooren, The Curious Uptowner
