Westfield Chocolate Tour
While waiting for your turn at the Impulse Seesaws, take a self-guided chocolate tour in the downtown area. Start off with a chocolate croissant or muffin at Manhattan Bagel. Sip on a hot chocolate at Old Havana. Or try the frozen hot chocolate (yes, it tastes exactly as it sounds) at Rock ‘n Joe’s. For the more adventurous taste buds, visit RoosterSpin for their take on a fudge-covered Korean corn dog. Then, pick up a bottle of Meletti Ciocolatto at Nos Vino (a dessert wine at its finest). Finish things off with a fudgy brownie, chocolate-dipped strawberries, or a chocolate ice cream cone sundae at Bovello’s, The Chocolate Bar, or Kings Bowl, respectively. Those are only a few of the 17 shops you will find along your Westfield Chocolate Tour.
