Leave some for us! Pure Dark, the chocolate shop on Bleecker Street in the West Village, was recently visited by an unwelcome customer after closing time. Is that not the cutest little rat since Sad Rat stole our hearts?
As far as rat gross-out porn goes, this is pretty tame; it doesn't even come close to the infamous Taco Bell Rat Rodeo of Aught Seven, or the Vinny Vincenz pizza truck rat jamboree (video). Maybe Pure Dark should just "own" the situation and making this adorable chocoholic their mascot? If not, the solution's simple enough: switch their inventory to strictly mint chocolate. Mint is Kryptonite to rats! [Via Eater]
