Chocolate Lab Open!

If you haven’t heard the buzz, the Chocolate Lab has been officially open since 11 this morning! Mr. Recchiuti told me the other night that not all of the permanent furniture has shown up, and seemed chagrined by the rented bar stools, but to my unpracticed eyes the space was beautiful, clean, and nicely appointed. […]

Chocolate Lab Opening Within A Month

Some mornings when I am staggering coffee-less and zombie-like out of the house, Michael Recchiuti is out in front of his soon-to-open shop, watering plants and being productive. Every time I ask him “when, sir, when” he looks frightened, as though a zombie had shambled up to him. He does reply “soon, when our custom […]
