"Bar Pisellino’s hot chocolate is notably thick, smooth, and pillowy. Drinking it feels like starring in your own Hallmark holiday movie, without all of the unnecessary drama. If you’re ever in the West Village on a weekend morning, stop by and drink one on their sidewalk patio. You’ll have front-row seats to some prime people watching, à la the Via Carota brunch crowd and celebrity dog walkers along 7th Avenue." - will hartman, carina finn koeppicus, nikko duren
