It's easy being a foodie in NYC. You have access to just about any type of restaurant and if it's ingredients you're after to cook at home it's also a mecca.

Meeting up with friends is almost always over food or drink. I could survive on pizza, chocolate, red wine, goat milk yogurt, strong coffee and caipirinhas. And I'm always up for Thai, Peruvian, Korean, French, Brazilian and pretty much anything Mediterranean.

Weekends at the beach in the summer, dinner parties in the spring and fall, there's plenty of opportunities to bring chocolates.

With best regards,
