Their fine art edibles are produced in their Brooklyn factory with retail locations throughout New York City and Japan. MarieBelle\u2019s flagship store in New York\u2019s famous Soho District offers chocolate lovers a sumptuous shopping experience. MarieBelle\u2019s newest New York retail shop is located in Midtown Manhattan\u2019s stunning Japanese-owned Kitano Hotel. Each location pairs perfectly with our lavish and decadent chocolate designs. Customers can purchase MarieBelle\u2019s tasty products on their website www.mariebelle.com, and are available for store pick up or walk in at the Kitano Hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Maribel, hails from Honduras, where her early love for confections was evident as she began selling candies to her neighbors at the tender age of 8. However, living with her mother and grandmother, who were both seamstresses, led her to pursue a career in fashion-arriving in the US at 17 to attend Parsons School of Design. Lieberman felt unfulfilled leading her to search for meaning in the field of gourmet cuisine. Soon thereafter, she opened a store &#8220;Lunettes et Chocolat&#8221; in 2000 which combined her love for chocolate with her friend\u2019s collection of eyeglasses under one roof. Alas Maribel had found her niche and struck out on her own in December 2001: renting a small gallery space in Soho that would continue to serve as her flagship for the subsequent 18 years.<\/p>\n<p>MarieBelle New York, which is located at 484 Broome Street, continues to tantalize customers with decadent truffles, artisanal ganache and its renowned Aztec Hot Chocolate-featured by Oprah in her list of favorite things. The superb ingredients of Criollo cocoa beans, Tahitian vanilla, Japanese matcha and Puerto Rican Rum produce an unrivaled product that draws customers from around the globe. During any season these treats are the perfect corporate gift as they can be tailored to the specialized needs of any business. A Cacao Bar nestled in the rear of the Soho Store is similarly decadent as desserts, pastries and hot chocolate await. In the current environment of fear and uncertainty there is nothing more soothing then enjoying a cup of hot chocolate with a family member or friend.<\/p>\n<p>The explosive success of Lieberman who has expanded her empire to a store in the Kitano Hotel at 66 Park Avenue and four stores in Japan is undeniable. Lieberman\u2019s hands-on involvement with every aspect of her business has her visiting her Soho store nearly every day. This attention to detail is what keeps Maribel at the top of the chocolate pyramid-a delicious place to be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLife is all about the pleasure and happiness we find in food, art and beauty.\u201d \u2013 Maribel Lieberman, Chocolatier<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Maribel-Lieberman-%C2%A9MarieBelle.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nMaribel Lieberman<\/p>\n<p>MarieBelle New York (SoHo)<br \/>\n484 Broome Street<br \/>\nNew York, NY 10013<br \/>\n(212) 925-6999 x1<\/p>\n<p>MarieBelle at the Kitano Hotel (Midtown)<br \/>\n66 Park Avenue<br \/>\nNew York, NY 10016<br \/>\n(212) 885-7177<\/p>\n<p>For more information about MarieBelle Chocolates, visit www.mariebelle.com\/<br \/>\nFacebook: MarieBelleNewYork | Twitter: @MarieBelleNY | Instagram: @mariebelleofficial<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-648418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/MarieBelle-VD-Ganache-4pc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/MarieBelle-VD-Ganache-4pc.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/MarieBelle-VD-Ganache-4pc-55x55.jpg 55w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/MarieBelle-VD-Ganache-4pc-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/MarieBelle-VD-Ganache-4pc-115x115.jpg 115w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/MarieBelle-VD-Ganache-4pc-144x144.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-648420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/MarieBelle-VD-Izak-Zenou-Bars.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"234\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sweet Gifts to Melt Your Valentine\u2019s Heart from MarieBelle New York www.mariebelle.com In New York\u2019s District is the world-renowned, luxurious bean-to-bar chocolate company, MarieBelle Chocolates.
