        <content>Is Neuhaus brand Belgian chocolate available in any stores in greater L.A. or orange county? (I know I can order it off the website, but I am reluctant to pay the $20 shipping when it's already so much more expensive in the u.s.).</content>

      <content>Neuhaus is available at Neiman Marcus on occasion...watch the date as already stated!  It is available from Macy's in San Francisco with next day delivery $$...and from Neuhaus on line with overnight delivery $$$$.

It used to be available locally at any number of locations but there were quality and freshness issues that were never resolved.  For a better Belgian product, you can get Pierre Marcolini from their New York store $$$$ or Mary from CocoaBella in San Francisco $$$$.  Mary is actually cheaper from their Brussels store shipped by DHL overnight!

A really good French brand available in SoCal is Michel Cluizel...with assorted boxes available at Vicente Foods and other locations...and very fresh!</content>
