We’ve reached out to a representative from Venchi Chocolate who confirmed they’d be opening at this location. And they’re aiming to open in November! Learn more about the company at us.venchi.com.
OMG!! I am so happy they’re coming uptown! I went on a chocolate tasting tour and we landed at Venchi’s downtown store which has a waterfall of chocolate at the end of the shop!! It’s so extraordinary watching the walls flow with chocolate! A thrill and a great place to take friends and visitors for a unique experience PLUS the chocolate is also heavenly! Fabulous! Now we have Jaques Torres and Venchoi! UWS is getting better..oh and Duane Reade is now carrying fresh Krispy Cream Doughnuts! Can life get any more sweet? hahaha
