The Hot Chocolate found at Tarallucci e Vino ($4) is the kind you can drink everyday. Neither too thin nor too thick, it comes completely unsweetened. No cream, no marshmallows. There is sugar, if you prefer, but I'd recommend it un-tampered—just the pure, heady flavor of dark chocolate slowly making its way down my throat. Even better if you have one of the window seats along East 10th Street, and it's snowing outside.
