One last-minute, Special V-Day promotion that’s actually special can be found through tomorrow at Gothamist favorite Tarallucci e Vino. With little fanfare, the café-bakery has begun selling Amedei, a kind of special chocolate dubbed “The World’s Best” by no less than Times food editor Pete Wells in an article penned for Food & Wine. Amedei chocolate is made (above fair-trade levels) by an Italian brother and sister whose kind of interesting story will likely end up someday in a sprawling New Yorker profile. Now through tomorrow, though, at all three Tarallucci e Vinos (at the Union Square location until 5 p.m., otherwise all-day) any Amedei purchase garners a free gift. Buying an 8.8 oz, powder-keg of hot chocolate mix ($19; made with cocoa mass, vanilla, almonds, and bitter almonds, and enough for many cups), for example, gets you a free cup of the most intense hot chocolate you might ever have, and some valuable time off your feet. Solid bars of the stuff are also available.
