godiva..... all marketing, no quality. I have tried more chocolates than, well, let's just say I have tried a lot a lot of chocolates, basically every single one in NYC, and Godiva, of the known ones, is pretty much one of the worst. Only the G collection from Godiva, is decent. In fact, even the G collection is more like fancy candy than chocolate. Lindt has very uneven quality. However, the 85% and 70% are quite decent. The truffles are pretty terrible. I also rather enjoy the rather unsuaul Pear flavor chocolate bar. The bargain for decent truffles are to be found at Leonidas. For true true top quality, La Maison du Chocolat is my pick. For incredible fresh truffles, if you ever come to visit NYC, go to Kee's chocolate, the owner makes her divine creations right there in the tiny store, it will make you never want to eat second rate chocolate again. For pure chocolate, that's another long story. Amedei's Porcelana bar is my personal favorite so far, unfortunately I can only get it online. A specialty store here used to carry it, but no longer

However, luckily, Zabars now carries some Domori chocolates which are quite amazing too.
