On the other side of the street, some of them had some adventurous taste experiences at Sotto Voce, sampling flavored oils and vinegars:

Meanwhile, another group had a great time trying out some chocolate lotion (!) at Indi Chocolate, where Becca also explained where chocolate comes from and how it is made:
