Culture: Marie Belle, Edible Art

MarieBelle, SoHo484 Broome St, between Wooster St and West Broadway
Open Everyday from 11am to 7pm
Walking South of Houston in sleet and snow is misreable. But luckily you are only a hop, skip and a jump from the charming little Parisien chocolaterie, MarieBelle, where mouth-watering smells of spicy hot-chocolate fill the air and a bounty of little luscious chocolate morsels are splayed in tiny (or enormous) boxes. From Champagne-flavored to Kona-Bean and Coconut, the choice is yours for $2.50/piece (!!). It seems as though Maribel Lieberman-- founder and designer-- has taken the movie Chocolat to heart with this successful venture; even in a down-turning economy, we must still have fine chocolate in 27 different flavors each one hand painted!
