Unfortunately I have to go uptown if I want Teuscher chocolates. What I usually do for my sweetie is get my own box and decorate it, and fill it with favorites from each store. Some of Vosges' amazing caramels, MarieBelle's beautiful chocolates--I love the lemon and the passionfruit--and then get a couple of Jacques Torres' coffee and brulee bars and break them into pieces. Yum! OK, it costs a lot of money, but it's better to have fewer pieces of better chocolate, right? And none of those stores does a traditional Valentine's box. Why Jacques Torres thinks anyone wants an orange box on Valentine's is beyond me. Or maybe they have different stuff this year, I haven't checked yet!
