The sweet smell of fudge will draw you in from the street, and as you find a spot to stand against the counter or the rail, you’ll join dozens of others every bit as mesmerized by the scent as the repetitive, nearly hypnotic turning of the chocolate. Over and over the wielding of the paddle marks lines through the liquid, until it cools enough to stand up on its own. By the time you leave the shop, you’ll believe these chocolatiers are artisans themselves. Not into chocolate? Our fudge shops sell popcorn, candy, dipped strawberries and more. Don’t refrain from wandering in—there’s something for you, too!
