The very unassuming Mondel Chocolates storefront in Morningside Heights looks old, but not in a good way. Seemingly stuck in the 1970's with a drop ceiling and outdated florescent light fixtures along with a stuff animal window display that looks frozen in time, this place is easy to pass by. It turns out that the small chocolatier has been around since the 1940's and has really amazing chocolates. So much in fact that the late Katharine Hepburn used to personally visit the store to pick up boxes of her favorite bespoke chocolates back in the day. The air is filled with the sweet smell of chocolate as you enter, for all the confections are made on site. Best bets include the almond bark and the dark chocolate selection. 2913 Broadway between 112th Street and 113th Street. Take the 1 train to 110th or 116th Street. http://www.mondelchocolates.com/
