Things to do with kids: Queens Hot Chocolate Crawl: 5 Great Hot Cocoa Joints

Queens is the biggest and most diverse borough in NYC. It is no surprise that so is their Hot Chocolate. Hot Cocoa is said to beat out tea and wine when it comes to antioxidant concentration. To get the same amount of antioxidants that are present in a cup of hot chocolate, you have to drink two cups of green tea, or two glasses of wine. So skip the bar and join your kids for a trip to one of these Hot Cocoa spots in Queens.

 

Sweatleaf  says forget about Manhattan,they literally have “the best Hot Chocolate in town”.  Made with 2oz. of shaved NuNu chocolate from Brooklyn and 2 oz of milk, this promises to be a fabulous treat.
