Yellow Bird checks out a Li-Lac Fudge Easter Egg, original watercolor, 9" x 12"
Yesterday while doing some research...ahem...I stopped in Li-Lac Chocolates in the Village.
Li-Lac was located on Christopher Street for 81 years and had all the earmarks of an old fashioned candy store. Inside you could peek in the back and even see them processing the chocolate. And they had the most wonderful old black and white postcard of two dog, their paws leaning on the shop window browsing all the goodies.
Now you can find Li-Lac at 40 Eighth Avenue (Where Eighth Ave. meets Jane Street)
Li-Lac's fare is quite traditional - old-fashioned foil-wrapped eggs line the walls...
None of your fancy-shmancy single origin percentage chocolates here! And the walls are covered with old-fashioned pink lilac wallpaper...
You enter their door and become a 5-year old again...
But now, you get to pick out exactly what you want and make a complete piggie of yourself!
:)
Their bunnies and Easter baskets are exactly what you dreamt of finding at the foot of your bed Easter morning, be-ribboned and filled to the brim with chockies.
My knees were knocking before this glorious bounty = blurry pictures :(
And don't forget to buy a bunnie for your basket, even if outfitted in a pink slicker decorated with chic black (black is in in Paris ya know!) paw prints.
I used to visit the old Li-Lac Chocolates every Easter and Valentines Day as well at any other opportunity I could think of. For important holidays the lines were always out the door.
Two of my absolute favorites were their Walnut Maple fudge...
And the dark covered caramel bars...sigh

Yesterday I fell victim again to my 2 favorites...
Must stay away...must stay away...
Li-Lac has a second shop in the Grand Central Marketplace just to make life even more difficult than it already is!
