[My Favorite Park Slope...] Wintry Treat

With the snowy, slushy, mess we have today, the weather outside is officially frightful, especially since, unlike our suburban counterparts, shit just doesn't get shut down in NYC unless you've got two feet of snow. Sure, the snow in the trees on Third Street and near Prospect Park looks pretty for about a minute, but trudging to and fro on a day like today can really bring a girl down.

Thankfully, there's the new Winter Warmers pop-up on Union (where People's Pops resides in warmer months) to cheer you up. While their main draw seems to be the s'mores (haven't tried 'em), I'm all about their hot chocolate, which comes in three varieties: Regular milk chocolate, soy milk chocolate, and spicy dark chocolate. I've tried all three, and love them all. Whipped cream is included, but I always go for one of the homemade marshmallows for $1 extra, and come in a rotating selection of flavors. The other day I had the soy milk chocolate with a peppermint marshmallow and hot damn, it just rocked. 

They also have hot apple cider, but seriously, why? I mean, to each his/her own, but the hot chocolate rules.
