City Bakery
If you hadn't noticed, we kind of think food is the key to warmth, happiness, success, etc. So we couldn't possibly consider this list complete without a staple food of winter: hot chocolate. Yes, this hot chocolate is so thick we definitely consider it food. Although City Bakery devotes an entire festival in February to hot chocolate, we don't recommend waiting until then to grab a mug.
