Taza Chocolate

Chocolate and nothing but

"Taza Chocolate" Boston - a chocolate factory, but I'll resist the urge to make a Willy Wonka reference. In this shop they make it in the Mexican tradition

Backbar

Don't call it a speakeasy

"Backbar" in Boston is unique. There have been many cocktail bars, but none can compare with this one's industrial/graffiti aesthetic. Flawless bartenders.
