What to eat: Chocolate. The San Francisco-favorite is here, but just for a little while. Dandelion Chocolate is operating a pop-up shop in Chelsea until Dec. 3. While it's open, you can snack on chocolate in almost any form: There's drinking chocolate, a Madagascar PB&J (made with peanut butter and raspberry ganache on a Madagascar brownie), and a chef's tasting menu of Dandelion's different chocolate treats. The shop will be open until Dec. 3 from 10 a.m. until 11 p.m. You can see the cafe's full menu here.
New York! We are open! Our pop up is located at 180 Ninth Ave at 21st Street. Come by for a hot chocolate, fresh pastries, holidays gifts and our always free house-made marshmallows! Open every day 10am-11pm till Dec 3rd. #DandelionxNYC

Location: 201 Lafayette St., Soho
What to eat: At DarkSide, it's more about the environment than the food. This Star Wars themed bar is open in Soho until January, with everything inside it coming from a galaxy far, far away. The DarkSide is promising nightly events and parties, including an intergalactic burlesque show with performers from different planets. If you're looking to make a deeper connection, the bar will also offer "alien speed dating." All drinks, and snacks, follow the Star Wars theme. You can learn more and reserve tickets, here.
Don’t drink and drive! Storm troopers are on the watch tonight. #thedarksidebarny #darksidebar #nyc #stormtrooper #starwars #cometothedarkside
