To be honest, I kind of hate Max Brenner New York. But if you have kids, you probably need to go there. Everything in the place is made of chocolate; there's even a chocolate pizza. It's not the best chocolate you'll ever have, but you'll never find so many forms under one roof.

My chocolate love!!!!!.
If you really wanna get a good dose of chocolate - it's a right place for you!!! You can either buy small pieces of diff kinds of choco candy or you can take your time, relax and try anything from the menu that is related to chocolate ( there is no point to go for lunch to a chocolateplace).
The variety of hot chocolate is huge as well as deserts.
The whole place feels comfortable. The music is always...inspiring and makes you wanna dance :-)
The prices are completely reasonable!
The only thing - every time I go there, the staff is some kind of lost, wondering around not looking at what's happening on the tables..

chocolate heaven. I like there the chocolate pizza, the crapes and the fondue. I am sure that everything else there is just amazing but there is so much dessert and so little stomach space :))) Love this place and I am very sad that they closed the location in my favorite neighborhood in St.Marks Place :( It was a great place for people watching and stuff but hey there is always this one and the one at Union Sq. Highly recommended for desserts!

Chocoholic Heaven!. This is true chocoholic heaven! Aside from the obvious nutella crepes, brazilian mocha martinis, and hot chocolates, you can still get your chocolate fix through the most unsuspecting food items. Be sure to try the waffle fries dusted with chili and cocoa power, as well as the beer battered onion rings with dark chocolate ranch dressing! The creative plating makes each dish a surprise, and keeps me coming back.

My hips are expanding!. My boyfriend took me here for our "date night." He got a big kiss for it. The environment is fantastic and interesting and of course, the chocolate. I had the banana split latte...mmmmmm, so good! And the real food is great too. I had a burger and he had a quesedilla, both very good and very filling. The wait staff is nice but not very attentive and we were packed in there like pickles! But, that's every place in NYC for you.

Chocolate Lovers Unite. I absolutely love this place. I have been here at least 5 times, if not more. Personally, I've never had a bad experience. My dad had a burger there and they put cheese on it when he asked for no cheese and they took it right back and made him a brand new burger. The server was very nice about it. So it really wasn't a problem. I love the decor, the smell, the food (dinner dishes or dessert) - both are great! My only con is the tight seating but I've had many birthdays here and will continue to do so.

If I Could Go Here Every Day and Not Get Fat...... :).
I first went to Max Brenner's in Israel. I think I had so many sweets that I thought I was going to throwup! The plan was to eat lunch there and then go to the beach- that changed quickly when I realized I would probably be harpooned upon setting foot onto the sand!
When I got home from Israel, I immediately looked on the Max Brenner's website to find out what other locations they had. I was so happy when I found that they had restaurants in NY!!! Needless to say, I've been to them multiple times since then!
My favorite dessert, which they have since done away with, was called the Chocolate Mess. Like it's title suggests, it's a mess of chocolate cake, icecream, whipped cream, sprinkles, little pieces of chocolate, etc, etc.
Their chocolate is amazing and I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone! I'm sure kids would get a kick out of the place (pipes over your head with chocolate, big mixers with melted chocolate, huge chocolate bars everywhere!)
