A compact chocolate shop called Bespoke Chocolate opened yesterday on Extra Place, the historic, 30' by 120' alley tucked away north of 1st Street between the Bowery and 2nd Avenue. The shop itself, owned and operated by chocolate maker Rachel Zoe Insler and her fiancé, is a tiny 280 square feet, open production space included.

Extra Place is a small East Village street, spanning only 30 feet wide and about 120 feet long, and The NY Times is taking a closer look at the mostly unknown nook of New York that remains invisible to many passerby, and has no street sign to distinguish it. The small street "runs north from First Street — without making it to Second Street — between the Bowery and Second Avenue" (map).
