Boston: Yeah, I Went There Again

As noted in Friday’s review of the Hotel Chocolat Salted Caramel Puddles, I was going to be running right over to their shop this weekend. But…have they set up shop in DC? No. THAT would be far too convenient. But I did manage to get myself to the one city in the U.S. where they do have such a shop: Boston.

I love this place. Even though I usually spend a lot of my time there in Cambridge, which is where I met up with the lovely Carla for some hot chocolate and delightful conversation at L.A. Burdick.

She was kind enough to then take me over to Cardullo’s, a little deli/grocer in Harvard Square with a massive chocolate collection.

Chuao! Finally, I found you.

Now don’t fret, I didn’t forget about Hotel Chocolat. I braved the cold sleet to find some lovely treats on Newbury St.

And did I mention the sleet? Which later turned into disgusting, heavy, wet snow? I feared that this would stop my fellow swimming alumni from coming out to dinner after our little meet on Saturday. I mean, just look at it.

Fortunately, one of my good friends has an in at Poe’s Kitchen at the Rattlesnake Bar and made sure it was worth everybody’s trip. With flourless chocolate cake at the end.

That’s a teaser. I’m reviewing that stuff later.

Flourless chocolate cake: worth venturing out in a Boston sleet-fest, or not?
