Sweet Corner Bakeshop is a small bakery on Hudson Street in the West Village that serves up, amongst other delicious items, a massive 2-pound Chocolate Nutella Heart. In this short video from our friends at Behind the Scenes NYC, watch as host Fernanda Paronetto talks to owner/chef Rodolfo Goncalves about the heart, and how he opened the bakeshop.

I cracked open New York's most famous 2 pound chocolate Nutella heart at Sweet Corner Bakeshop, in the West Village, and got chocolate all over me. But, then again, it’s Nutella! Even before I moved to New York in April of 2015, I already had a favorite spot in the West Village I visited every time I visited to NYC. It’s not only loved by visitors, but also certainly, by locals. So, today I have a surprise for you, so you might as well continue reading and watch the video above. Why? I cracked open their famous 2 pound chocolate Nutella heart. The result? I had Nutella all over me. Hahaha!

Recently released by the New York City Parks Department, this interesting map shows the City's network of public parks linked together like the MTA's NYC subway map. Because parks are not along the subway lines, a lot of artistic license was taken here, but it's a cool concept none-the-less.

With thousands of parks and playgrounds found across the city, New York City's green spaces are destinations no matter where you go. In this colorful poster based on NYC's iconic subway map, we offer you a place in the city to relax and unwind, no matter where you're going. Check out our subway-style map, and make a neighborhood park your next stop!
