"Delightful little independent chocolatier in Mad-town!\n\nWhile on a bit of an errand, I made my way to Maurie's on Monroe in order to pick up a grip - I kid, more like 25-30 - packages of chocolates. \n\nLovely, truffle-y things they were... and the nice lady behind the counter gave me a sample for the walk back to HotelRED to boot!\n\nI love little shops like this that take care to execute their particular craft correctly... and they're not necessarily big, you know, but they do what they do very very well.\n\nMe + Madison + craving chocolate = headed to Maurie's, or looking for their chocolates in local shops/at markets.
