AJ Chocolate House

The Write-Up

The full story

AJ Chocolate House brings old-world Europe to Park Avenue: low lighting, cozy elegance and chocolate treated as an occasion in itself. The fondue comes piled with fresh fruit and smooth, decadent chocolate, and guests call the Belgian hot chocolate the best they have ever had. Brussels waffles, a three-tier tea tower and pistachio cheesecake round out a menu built for lingering.
