Thanksgiving gifts - suggestions for shopping in the Penn Station / Hell's Kitchen / Grand Central area ?

[jalila]

Hi all,

I am going to a friend's mother's house for Thanksgiving and want to pick up a gift for her. I work in Midtown and want to find something good nearby.

I know she likes chocolate so I'm looking for a nice chocolate gift (box? basket?) to bring her.

Any suggestions? I'd also be happy with a basket that includes a nice bread, nuts, etc.

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! All great - I work right in that gross area near Penn Station so that's why I asked. All walkable places and I appreciate it!

Kee's Chocolates also has a location inside the HSBC building on Fifth Ave. between 39th and 40th. They are open from 11:00 am to 5:30 pm.

Shopping in Penn Station???? Are you kidding?!?

Much much better off in Rock Center or Grand Central areas

Jacques Torres, La Maison du Chocolat, and Bouchon Bakery are all in Rockefeller Center. I believe Li-Lac also has a kiosk at Grand Central.
