Profile

Before envelope-pushing pastry chef Will Goldfarb teamed up with Manhattan entrepreneur Richard Perl, you’d never expect phrases like Michel Cluizel chocolate and sodium alginate to appear in the same sentence. But the twain might actually meet at Perl’s Cluizel boutique at ABC Carpet & Home. As at the now-shuttered Room4Dessert, where Goldfarb served whimsies named Virtuality and You Sunk My Battleship, the chef will concoct inventive desserts at the seven-stool bar, open till midnight Thursday through Saturday. Cluizel chocolate is the unifying theme in dishes like Indonesian-vanilla ice cream with 85 percent–cacao chocolate bits and American sturgeon caviar (pictured), and warm chocolate bubbles with espresso Jell-O and fresh milk foam. Goldfarb has stocked the shelves with new products, too, like Terzi coffees from Bologna, his WillPowder line of chemicals for the home cook (from glycerin flakes to methylcellulose), and baked goods from Seth Greenberg, son of William Jr., and heir to the Manhattan fudge-brownie throne. — Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite

The chocolate/spirit pairing was a great experience and very informative. The desserts were amazing, especially the Indonesian Vanilla Ice Cream and American Sturgeon Caviar with 85% chocolate bits.

An amazing treat for your mouth

The ice cream alone is enough to make you return. Add to that the flawless espresso (made in a unique machine), the chocolate and a choctail and you're in heaven.
