Morning Routine: Max Brenner

Max Brenner, the man behind the eponymous Union Square chocolate and dessert haven (841 Broadway, 212-388-0030), dished on his morning routine.

Then, while having my early bite, reading some of the morning news and spice it up with gossip columns. Then walk to Max Brenner, mostly for meetings. I prefer to have the meetings in the morning while I’m super fresh and sharp.
