NYC: Jacques Torres Chocolate Haven; restaurant review

Jacques Torres Chocolate Haven

350 Hudson St., Soho, (212) 414-2462.

Though not too long ago the inventory for Jacques Torres Chocolate Haven was made right here, production has now moved to the Brooklyn Army Terminal factory and everything is distributed from there. Though most famous for their thick and spicy hot chocolate and chocolate bonbons, the company’s more than 100 items—all made without preservatives or additives--include marzipan and marshmallows as well as chocolate-covered fruits and nuts. There are many more outlets around town and in Brooklyn, where the actual factory is located.
