The urban travel blog Gridskipper recently published a feature on New York’s Top Chocolate Shops. From Martine’s on the Upper East Side to imported chocolate from Paris at La Maison Du Chocolat to the chocolate-covered pretzels of Jomart in Brooklyn, there’s something for everyone.

On March 30 at the Y, give your palette a chocolate tour of its own and learn about chocolate-and-wine pairing from culinary historian Alexandra Leaf; Clay Gordon, the founder of the New World Chocolate Society and the author of Discover Chocolate: The Ultimate Guide to Buying, Tasting, and Enjoying Fine Chocolate; and wine expert Costas Mouzouras of Gotham Wines.

On April 11, Alexandra Leaf will also be leading a downtown “Extreme Chocolate Walking Tour.”
