Looking for British Chocolate near Union Square/flatiron

[vvv03]

Trying to buy some easter candy and want so REAL British chocolate, not the crappy Cadbury made by Hershey's. Do I have to go to the Village to get it or is there somewhere in Chelsea/Flat Iron/Union Square?

there's also a cornershop on 9th and 2nd avenue (NE corner) that has a small selection as well. picnic, aero, yorkie, curly wurly...etc

[roze]

There is a deli on Park Avenue btw 21st and 22nd street called Emma's Dilemma that has Coffee Crisp, Flake, Lion bars, Aero, etc. Might want to check it out.

Have you checked Whole Foods' chocolate section?

I only shop Whole Foods for produce and meat. Would they carry chocolate candy?

"We search for the highest quality, least processed, most flavorful and natural foods possible because we believe that food in its purest state — unadulterated by artificial additives, sweeteners, colorings and preservatives — is the best tasting and most nutritious food there is."

Of course.

Do you know a food/grocery store that does not carry a selection of chocolate?

[ttoommyy]

Honestly, I've never shopped the aisles at Whole Foods. I thought they only sold "natural" and "organic" foods. They sell candy like Hershey bars, etc.? I think that's what the OP is looking for, only the British equivalents. Like this stuff:

Whole Foods sells lots of stuff, not all organic. "Natural" is a meaningless term. But yes if OP is looking for British equivalent of Hershey, it probably won't be found at WFM.

"Natural." lol I know, it is meaningless. But it is used on WFM's web site, which is why I used it in my post above in quotes:

""We search for the highest quality, least processed, most flavorful and natural foods possible ..."

It's not in the right neighborhood for you, but the best selection of British chocolate I've seen in NYC is at Fairway. It's always located near the registers -- (real) Cadbury bars, Aeros, Flake, Smarties, etc.

I think the village is where you have to go. I assume you are referring to Meyers of Keswick, 634 Hudson Street http://myersofkeswick.computerperfect... a favourite among us ex-pats. There's also Tea & Sympathy but I dont know much about that place. I think it's more of a restaurant then retail. Union Square is barely a ten minute walk away anyhow, if that. God good man! Put on your Wellies and get on with it ;-)

Just curious but what do you consider to be "real" British chocolate?
