    As the holiday shopping season is already well under way, can anyone tell me what the best places for fine chocolate in New York City is? Any place where I can sample the chocolate before buying is a plus. Thanks!

    Maribelle chocolates on Madison ave. in the low sixties 2nd floor. It feels like a parisian speakeasy when you enter! you can have Hot chocolate and a light lunch while you browse the most delicious chocolates that are decorated so beautifully you want to save them for yourself!Very helpful staff- good luck!

    Payard on Lexington is my favorite. If you are a hot chocolate fan, this is the place!

    Richart on East 55th street is a great designer chocolate place. The detail in the pieces look amazing and are tasty.

    I love La Maison du Chocolat and Kee's Chocolate. La Maison is high end french chocolate straight from Paris. Kee's is a tiny chocolate shop in Soho making the most delicious truffles ever.

    In my humble opinion, La Maison du Chocolat is overrated, not to mention overcrowded. I prefer Teuscher; it's also in Rockefeller Center, but quieter and tastier.

    If you're looking for chocolate (or sweet little things in general) to consume rather than to gift, I'd suggest Chikalicious.

    Meh. Teuscher is ok. But, if you're in Rockefeller Center, La Maison du Chocolat. is far better. They treat their chocolate like precious jewels, and have special shade for the sun.

    Personally, I think La Maison du Chocolat is a bit pricey. You can can nearly the same quality from Jacques Torres Chocolates downtown (and in Brooklyn). And, if you have a child in tow, Jacques Torres is also more entertaining as you can see the chocolate shop in action.

    Both Jacques Torres and La Maison du Chocolat have Hot Chocolate Bars, so even if you aren't buying chocolates, you can always stop in and sit down for a cup of hot cocoa served in fine china.

    And the hot chocolate bar at La Maison du Chocolat is a great little secret when you want to get away from the Rockefeller crowds. It's never crowded.

    Sorry it's a little late for the holiday shopping season, but thought I would let you know that I received a gift from a friend who bought chocolates from Christopher Norman just two blocks from Wall Street. I was impressed! They were like jewels and very delicious.

    I would have to say Fauchon. Not only are their chocolates divine but, their presentation is so aesthetically appealing. With Valentine's Day coming up, you can't go wrong with this Madison Avenue gem.
