Laduree in New York makes you feel like you are in Paris. The shop is charming – people are taking photos of all the beautiful pastries behind the glass. I always make it a point to stop here when in New York – they have the best macarons. The shells are delicate and melt in […]

The walls are festively decorated with “doughnuts” and there are a […]

Back from a recent trip to New York, I received a box of macarons as a gift. How cute is this flavor card? Macaron Cafe has 3 locations: MacarOn CafĂ©’s flagship store is located on 750 Third Avenue (between 46th & 47th St.), a second location at 59th Street between Madison and Park Avenues, and […]

Famous 4th Street Cookie Company is located in the Reading Terminal Market, and is cranking out cookies to tons of tourists on a daily basis. The white chocolate macadamia nut cookie was probably my favorite. The butter almond cookies lacked a little bit of flavor for me. I was hoping for a really nice strong […]
