House-blended hot chocolate, pain au chocolat, locally made Belgian-style bonbons, and some of the city's most perfectly crafted macarons: These are a few of the day's offerings on this special walking tour for chocophiles, led by veteran ICE tour leader Alexandra Leaf. You will begin the day over a chocolate-themed breakfast with famed City Bakery owner and baked goods entrepreneur Maury Rubin. A stroll will take you to Chocolat Moderne to visit a wholesale chocolate-making facility, where you will both taste and learn how a bonbon is made from start to finish. Next you will head down to Amorino for a scoop of original chocolate gelato. An on-the-go lunch break is also featured before we head to Soho for even more sampling and learning. The class meets at 10 a.m. upstairs at The City Bakery (3 West 18th St.).
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
