This historic chocolate shop has a secret ingredient that has sustained it: love.
FOREST HILLS -- Aigner Chocolates in Queens has a secret ingredient that has sustained the legendary 90-year-old sweet shop: love.
"Rachel was a regular at the restaurant. She actually brought a date to the restaurant one time," Libertini says, playfully scowling at his now wife."She came in by herself one time and we were talking and she had this idea of 'food is therapy.'""I'll never forget that text message coming through," Kellner says."It was this big, crazy idea, and here's this person who I just met and he believed in me.
"It was always his dream to open a chocolate shop," Kellner says, recounting that day."And if you know my husband, you know that not only did he call right away, he met them that day." "Our vision is to share our love for the art of making chocolate to make the world a better place," Kellner says,"and we created that vision statement seven years ago, not knowing what the last two years were going to bring."
"We had an initial goal of collecting 100 rainbows and we ended up collecting 315," Kellner says."After we delivered them, they made a collage. There is a rainbow of rainbows in the lobby of Elmhurst hospital still. It really was our proudest moment."The Rainbow Bunny Exchange led to a similar idea, Flower Power, which involved kids drawing pictures of flowers to spread hope. This time, they collected over 1,500 drawings.
