The Best Hot Chocolate In NYC | Best In Town | Insider Food 

Just watching the marshmallow burst into a flower is all I needed today.

“i just like to hold it” “in your mouth?” “no, in my hands.” “👁👄👁” she said

It’s not about the marshmallow, it’s about the hot chocolate. It’s all about the deep chocolate flavor on a cold winter day and how it warms your hands, lips, and you can feel how it warms you as you sip it. It’s not about expense or fancy marshmallows. I’ve had thee most amazingly creamy hot chocolate in my life (homemade) after a day of sledding outside.

Tries hot chocolate: "It's very chocolatey." ?? Yeaa?

I hated seeing the hot chocolate spill down the glass in those close up shots :( Feels like such a waste

the only chocolate i can afford is Milo lol

Me: *stares dismally into a cup of Swiss Miss*

That marshmallow flower thing is so creative 🌸👍🏻

I can have a full meal for the price of these hot chocolate lmao

“I just like to hold it. In your mouth? No in my hands.” 4:46

I love hot chocolate. Christmas is the perfect excuse to have some.

I'd just be thinking 25 cents everytime I took a sip of these.

You haven't had a hot chocolate in New York unless you have had an L.A BURDICK hot chocolate. I couldn't get enough of the stuff when I was there last.

"It's elegant, it's classy, looks simple but beautiful!!!" All for a paper cup lol

“Each flavor is uniquely flavored”

Chocolate was born in Mexico and I am very fortunate to live in one of the country's chocolate cities, Oaxaca, everything is handmade and incredibly delicious and cheap, because you buy it directly from where the cocoa is harvested and processed ❤️

In conclusion, the most expensive is the best in town 😂

4:45 That's what she said

I wish I had this job instead of studying algebra, trigonometry and calculus the whole year..

Mexico City hot chocolate. Thick enough that it can hold a churro, but light enough that it doesn’t feel like eating a stick of cocoa butter. It’s a completely different animal than the EuroAmerican style. 🇲🇽

I just like to hold it. In your mouth? No, in my hands. WTF? 😂😂😂

“Each flavor is uniquely flavored.” *ah yes, the floor here is made out of floor.*

I have never seen less enthusiastic people. Drinking hot chocolate should put a smile on your face.

$6.00 for a hot chocolate. I don’t care how good it is. That’s ridiculous

I got addicted to these videos few months ago watched all your Best of the Best videos and was waiting for a new one so long . Finally 😌

Dominique is one of the best pastry chef ever and never ceases to amaze me

4:33 in Serbia, if someone tried to charge you $7.50 for a hot chocolate, they would probably get sued

Chocolate is always good in whatever form it is

I wanna come here and drink a hot chocolate while listening to Christmas Songs and watching the snow fall

Keto hot chocolate, makes about a 12 ounce serving. Try this and make your own adjustments/improvements: 1 ounce heavy cream 1 ounce butter 1 ounce buttermilk 7 ounces milk of choice* 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped Half an ounce unsweetened cocoa powder Pinch of salt Pinch of espresso powder Pinch of pure stevia powder (or to taste) Pinch of pure monk fruit powder (or to taste) Put all ingredients, except for the dry powders, in a pot and heat on a low flame to melt and disperse the butter and chocolate into the milks and cream. In a bowl, combine cocoa powder, espresso powder, stevia, salt and monk fruit powder, and whisk. Add the dry ingredients into the warmed milk combination stirring continuously. As soon as the hot chocolate begins to simmer, remove it from the heat. Do not boil. Taste for sweetness. Add more sweetener if desired. Allow to cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let flavors develop/meld. Remove from fridge, stir, reheat to preferred temperature. Enjoy. *Unsweetened milk alternatives usually have fewer carbs than dairy milk but I prefer dairy, though I drink nondairy as well. Experiment. Even if you use dairy, that will be the largest carb component in this recipe, adding about 12 carbs for the milks. Consider combining nondairy with dairy if your strong preference is dairy but you want to cut carbs. By just not using sugar, this hot chocolate is far better than traditionally made sugar laden hot chocolate, which can easily top 50 carbs, or more, depending on the quantity consumed, and the add-ons, like sugar sweetened marshmallows and sugar sweetened whipped cream. As written, even using dairy, this recipe is about 15 to 17 net carbs and is rich tasting and chocolatey. It is also very customizable. If you want a stronger chocolate flavor or less intense chocolate flavor, adjust the chocolate components per your preference. If you want it sweeter, add more stevia and monk fruit. If you want it richer, add more butter.

Since I live in NYC, I will give these stores a try. However, I downloaded a recipe for French style hot chocolate, bought the ingredients, made it at home and I must say, it's the best cup of hot chocolate I ever had. God bless the French!

As soon as I saw Dominique Ansel, I knew none of the other hot chocolates had a chance.

These looked good, but ngl Food Insiders hot chocolate video from London was way more enticing.... Especially the white chocolate examples 😍

This video "feels like Christmas ❤️🥳🥳🥳"

Imagine walking past two people talking about their hot chocolate like this

This people: getting hot chocolate at 8 dollars, walking on the street, smiling Me, sitting at home because of covid in my region: iNtEreStINg

No Chewing Allowed from Bryant Park’s Winter Village needs to be on this list!!

I'm with you on the decadent rich chocolates. BTW the last place had far too much overflow on the glass. Not sure I want to lick the spills on a glass in public but the sheer waste gets to me. :)

Omg thank you so much! Coming from your pizza vid! I went down to Emmys only to find out that the Emmy burger wasn’t being served at the location I went to. Its okay though I ended up trying their signature burger which was Delicious, and I will be trying the Emmy burger tomorrow lol

The only hot chocolate I have had is bournvita milk😂😂

Too bad City Bakery isn't around now.... no fancy marshmallow, but superior hot chocolate since 1990 !!!! Miss that place so much !!

Me : sees the video, craves hot chocolate Me: after watching the video , still craving hot chocolate.....🥲🥲

Tbh I love my hot chocolate recipe. I was like where is nutmeg and cinnamon. Hot chocolate isn't about marshmallow, yah it's an added bonus but I can say if it's a good hot chocolate you don't need it. As a vegetarian finding marshmallow with vegan gelatin is hard so I skip it and it still taste Amazing.

Herrine needs to do a video on her skincare and product usage. Her skin is magnificent! Ugh, jealous!

Here in the Philippines we dont usually drink hot chocolate because we drink Milo😎

Enjoyed this and the London version too! How bout best croissant?

Awesome - thanks for sharing

"If I gonna have a hot chocolate, I'm gonna go hard" 🤘

I'd like for there food reviews to also point out the cons too, real honest review

I've tried Squish and Ansel but have not tried Farmacy. My vote goes to Squish because it feels more decadent. Perfect sweetness, creaminess and favor.

btw it’s a MUCH better option to just make your own hot chocolate. you can manipulate types of chocolate, richness, texture, etc. some recipes just use milk, chocolate, and cornstarch.

I went to Union Square holiday market last winter and got myself some Max Brenner hot chocolate. It was life changing...

I remember my Grandma making hot chocolate every Christmas and Cold days it's so comforting and yummy of course.

It all looks so delicious 🤤!!! Can’t wait to try these one day!

OMG HOT CHOCOLATE taste like chocolate. Mind blown👾

Please bring back this segment Best In Town. ❤️❤️

Italian hot chocolate is thicker and more chocolatey.

They should have included LA Burdick in their review, also Venchi's sipping chocolate is pretty damn good too. But, I understand if they wanted to do local shops only.

I loved how the girls was simple

I have read a bunch of comment about how these hot chocolates are expensive, a grand cup of latte from Starbucks is around 5 dollars. Higher quality chocolate tends to be quite expensive, so I think these prices are quite fair considering its new york as well. support your local restaurants, cause it puts food on quite a few employees table.

“I like to hold it” “In your mouth?” “ no in my hands!” I just can’t process this convo in my head without it being sexual! Lol

HOT CHOCOLATE means LOVE! Nothing else!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m obsessed with marshmallows...enough said. That’s what I’m here for. Definitely the first one with sprinkles and the last one toasted please. K 😋😍🥰😍😩

I love the last one

Wow looks very yummy ❤️stay connected ❤️💝

I really want to go to Dominique Ansel's bakery. Everything looks so yummy.

Having Hot Chocolate 🍫 when it is raining 😍 is a boon 🌌🌠

Why did I just watch a whole 10 min video on hot chocolate when I’ve got assignments to do

I thought about making hot chocolate tonight and then this was recommended. I take this as a sign!

You guys should definitely try Hotel Chocolate on Lexington Ave, by Grand Central.

More ways 2 enjoy this classic.🍫☕🍩❄⛄

this video is so cozy

Haven't tried it but I will definitely go to Dominique Ansel's for hot chocolate

Perfect

All those natural ingredients you can't go wrong oh my God like I was just saying simplicity at its best then the marshmallow oh my Lord there are just an added bonus perk perk perk love it all when are you coming to San Francisco California, now we need you it's chilly out here okay not as chilly as Chicago but we're chili

that looks amazing

Stay happy and blessed everyone Stay healthy Have a beautiful day Sending lots of love from Tasty Cook Show❤🥰

Okay, "Sprung" is a pretty kickass surname to have.

I just gather ideas to make some at home. I just made some similiar to DA, but with lime zested on top. Not too much, just enough to make it goooooood. Honey marshmallows are so good!

The best hot chocolate in NYC (at least pre covid, idk if they still do it) was the Cartier store on 5th ave every holiday season when they served free hot chocolate in the lounge. Holy crap its good.

This would have been great during the snow storm

stay healthy and safe everyone, wear a mask! 😷

The egg creme at Farmacy is awesome too!!!

Nyc has so many amazing food destination ......I want to vist nyc atleast once in my life🥺

Thanks god for another hot chocolate video, coz I got tired watching best London hot chocolate !

OMG! I REALLY REALLY want to travel to NY and drink that Hot Chocolate. They look sooooo~ delicious

Damn they had the audacity to not do the hot chocolate from La Maison du Chocolat? They have to most fabulously decadent hot chocolate imaginable

Good!!😍😍

I can live all day long with a cup of "Hot Chocolate in NYC".

AWESOME !!!!!

At school camps when the staff would make you hot chocolates with one spoon of milo in a whole jug of cold water

I think her name is Emily (tall lady) but she does a lot better at reviewing the product then Erin.

Ooooo...good to see chef Dominque Ansel here

I so wanna try it!!!

4:36 "Best part of hot chocholate is when you get to put your hands over it." I thought I was the only person who thought this. I'm not alone 😀

city bakery was my favorite! it was literally liquid, rich, thick chocolate. so sad that they closed :(

4:15 How sweet.

Warm Chocolate 😍🥰
