We've found a way to reach euphoria, legally. Just head to Union Square, where Max Brenner: Chocolate by the Bald Man has opened up shop. The atmosphere is almost as warm and inviting as the hot chocolate. You'll walk past tempting sweets in the chocolate shop, and even a chocolate bar on your way to a table. Don't let the extensive menu overwhelm you; stick what this place does best - dessert. We had to sample the suckao, which comes in what the waiter referred to as an "egg" for melting bits of chocolate into milk over a flame. The hot chocolate is then sipped through a metal straw (ouch). Next, we order the Sharing Tasting for two, which includes chocolate fondue, a banana split waffle, hazelnut fudge, popping candies and other assorted confections. The couple next to us ordered salads, with a side of envy. Our only real disappointment: discovering that Max Brenner is a fictional character. Look out for their other cafe at 2nd Avenue at 9th Street.
