At the Li-Lac Chocolates counter in Grand Central, getting my weekly mocha fudge fix. I notice a sign that says supplies will be low while Li-Lac moves its factory to a new Brooklyn location.
ME: [with feigned nonchalance] So where in Brooklyn will the new factory be?
CHOCOLATE SALESGIRL: In Sunset Park.
ME: [with undisguised glee] That's where I live!!
CHOCOLATE SALESGIRL: [frowning] But it's not open to the public.
ME: [disappointed] Oh.
[UPDATE: Apparently, my roommate La Doug had the exact same conversation with the counter person at Li-Lac on Jane St. down by his work. We've decided we're going to get into that chocolate factory somehow. Stay tuned for an embedded report.]
Did you know your blog was called "inestimable" by Regina Schrambling?
"David Byrne, linked through the inestimable eatdrinkonewoman, has an interesting conspiracy theory..."
HOLLA! I love her.
This is turning into Ganda And The Chocolate Factory.
Just apply for a part-time job first, then you'll probably get to see the underbelly of the whole operation.
