Tuesday, March 20th is the third annual Macaron Day in NYC. Macaron Day NYC is inspired by and coincides annually with the Jour du Macaron in Paris. In 2010, 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.” It is a French cream-filled sandwich cookie that is light and delicious. Nowadays, many cafés sell macarons, and in a variety of flavors. Pictured on the right are macarons from La Maison du Macaron in Chelsea.
