My buddy Tas, shooting some of the chocolate on display at Max Brenner in Union Square. I’ve eaten at that restaurant far too many times for someone who doesn’t have a crack-like addiction to chocolate. Every time someone comes in from out of town, they have me bring them there for dinner. Not that it’s a bad place to eat by any means, quite the opposite. But with an average 30-60 minutes wait time to get a table, it’s really not a place you frequent.

That said, their hot chocolate is fantastic.
