Sunday, March 20th is the second annual Macaron Day in NYC. Macaron Day NYC is inspired by and coincides annually with the Jour du Macaron in Paris. Last year, François Payard, the chef and owner of François Chocolate Bar and François Payard Bakery in New York, organized the first annual Macaron Day in NYC.
What’s a macaron?
A macaron is the new “cupcake”(yay! I’m tired of the cupcake craze). It is a French cream-filled sandwich cookie that is light and delicious. Last year, a friend of mine recommended a great cafe that sold macarons, and I immediately thought of coconut macaroons and said I didn’t like them. If only I knew macarons were different from the usual chewy mound of coconut. I was missing out!
To receive a free macaron tell the shop you are there for Macaron Day NYC.
