Save CBGB's by buying chocolate

Call it chocolate for CB’s or an odd East-West partnership. Chocolate Bar, a three-year-old chocolate shop in the West Village of New York City, is selling commemorative truffles, trinkets and snack bars to raise money for the legendary East Village hole-in-the-wall, CBGB’s, which for months has been battling its landlord in court over back-due rent. The landlord, a non-profit that serves the homeless called the Bowery Residents’ Committee, claims that club owner Hilly Kristal owes more than $75,000 in rent due to a bookkeeping mix-up.
