Louis Sherry Chocolates
One of my favorite moments from the Summer Fancy Food Show came at the Louis Sherry Booth, where my eyes lit up at these gorgeous pastel colored tins filled with chocolate. I had seen these tins before growing up. I'm not quite sure exactly where, but they immediately brought back a feeling of love and nostalgia.
Turns out Louis Sherry opened in NYC back in 1881 at 662 Sixth Avenue. His elegant tins became an instant success during that era as did his restaurants and the name became synonymous with the elite social gatherings in NYC. Today the Sherry Netherland Hotel pays tribute to the Sherry name and his delicious chocolates in flavors like Jamaican Rum, Coffee Costa D'Oro and Pistachio Di Bronte continue to be sold around the city.
I love the Sherry story and it's quite possible I found one of these tins at my grandparents house growing up- they are absolutely beautiful. This is a fantastic gift for that special occasion and a wonderful remembrance of old New York.
