Timeless Traditional Hard Cover Book (100 Year History)
Discover the story behind Manhattan's oldest chocolate house, formed in 1923.
In 1914, Aristomenis Demetrioux stepped off the SS Laconia at Ellis Island, a young immigrant with the rare skills required to create chocolate. Nine years later, that same young man, now known to all as George Demetrio would make his mark and would rise to be the proprietor of the New French Candy company located on 120 Christopher Street in the heart of Greenwich Village, Manhattan. Through his tireless devotion to quality and traditional methods, what later would be known as Li-Lac Chocolates, would become one of New York City's premier chocolates houses.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes Lilac Chocolate the most luxurious handmade chocolate?
Manhattan's Oldest Chocolate House, preserving the heritage and traditions of old-school, hand-crafted chocolate for almost 100 years. Using original recipes and old-world cooking methods from the 1920's, Li-Lac Chocolates are still made by hand in small batches for exceptional quality and superior taste.
How do you keep the chocolates from melting during shipping?
A Cold Pack will provide up to 48 hours of temperature control during transit. If the temperature is above 75 degrees at your recipient's destination, please add a Cold Pack to your order. For destinations outside the New York tri-state area, please select an Express shipping option as well. This is necessary as Cold Packs only provide 48 hours of cold power. When the temperature is unusually hot, (i.e. above 90 degrees), we may have to hold your order until the weather cools down.
