Are diamonds really a girl's best friend? When we turn into she-devils and need a quick fix, we dream of diamonds but reach for chocolate. And this weekend, we're tired, we're hungry, and we're slapping on our food baby pants for Chocolate Weekend! Today through Sunday, chocolate masters in Manhattan and Brooklyn will be offering free tastings, chocolate-making demos, and, of course, super sweet discounts. And we're not talking Russell Stovers, participants include Michel Cluizel, the Cocoa Room, Bond St. Chocolate, L'Atelier du Chocolat, and FIKA, to name a few. We know, you're already half way out the door, but it gets better—chocoholics who visit the most stores and get their "Chocolate Passports" stamped can be entered to win sinful gourmet chocolate baskets, thanks to Savorique, amongst other chocolatiers. Oh, and did we mention Jacques Torres is offering a 10% discount to those who flash their "passports", which you can get for free here? Looks like we're going to skip dinner and gorge on our comfort food of choice. We won't judge if you don't. (Gothamist)
