The 36-year-old taxi driver left after receiving death threats from the Muslim family of one his passengers who died in an accident. "They wanted $50,000 or my head," he said...
...patrons on a tour of cocoa-producing countries: the Caribbean Santo Domingo, made with 70% cocoa, is spicy and bold, while the bittersweet African Tanzania is reminiscent of a complex cognac. The adventurous will want to try the Infinite Extravagance, made to the ancient Inca recipe, with 100% cocoa liquor and hot milk infused with chilies. For the indecisive, there is a tasting option with a demitasse of each of the above...
