JoMart Chocolates
JoMart Chocolate has been churning out homemade confections for three generations and is the last of its kind in 11229, which was once densely populated with competing confectioners. Michael Rogak, “son of a son of a candymaker,” keeps the family tradition alive and sweet today by using his father’s original stove and copper kettles to concoct fresh chocolate creations in-store. It’s no wonder that JoMart boasts customers who have returned for 60-plus years. From bonbons to truffles and bars, there is a treat to please every palate. If you’re looking for something truly spectacular, pop in for a hand-painted chocolate bar. Never have we wanted so badly to have our candy bar and eat it, too.

Donovan’s Pub
There is an old Irish saying that reads, “Men are like bagpipes – no sound comes from them until they are full.” This might explain why there is never a quiet (or dull) moment at 11377’s famous burger joint – Donovan’s Pub!
Stuff Hipsters Don’t Like
You might be a hipster if, like Lola Wakefield, your research into this fascinating culture of indie rock fans, thrift store shoppers, and vegetarians, painted a picture of, well, you.

JoMart is the best! Once you taste their chocolate you will never eat another kind again! No matter what your favorite is: caramels, butter crunch, marshmallows, pretzels….everything is always fresh and delectable. All of the chocolate and the centers are homemade on the premises by the owner. If you ask nicely (and smile) they will let you taste something new and special. On top of that, they are so creative and artistic, they will change the way you will ever see a party favor again. I highly recommend if you haven’t had the opportunity to taste JoMart’s chocolates, take a trip to brooklyn or call them, they will ship it to whereever (trust me, i do it all the time!!!). Enjoy!!!
