New York City’s oldest chocolatier, Li-Lac Chocolates, has opened a permanent location within Sahadi’s flagship store, uniting two long-standing institutions in the city’s food scene.
A Sweet Partnership
The new Li-Lac counter, located near the registers at Sahadi’s, features three glass cases filled with the chocolatier’s signature confections, including buttercrunch and truffles. Seasonal offerings, such as limited-edition French egg boxes with fillings like lemon chiffon and praline, are similarly available. Li-Lac associates will be on-site to provide personalized assistance to customers.
Sahadi’s has been a fixture on Atlantic Avenue since the mid-20th century, known for its bulk bins, spices, and prepared foods. The collaboration is described as a natural fit, combining quality products with a tradition of service.
Expanding Reach
According to Chris Taylor, Owner of Li-Lac Chocolates, the partnership represents “a natural extension of a friendship that’s been years in the making.” The new location marks the seventh New York City outpost for Li-Lac Chocolates.
To celebrate the opening, a 20 percent discount is being offered on fresh counter chocolates through March 29.
