Let's hear it for New York




Happy Thanksgiving everyone! The concrete jungle looked quite stunning on this freezing & sunny holiday! Family, food & no trafic(go figure) is the recipe... Try it out yourselves and enjoy this wonderful time of the year (catch that? :D )!

A Traveler's Tastebuds...






Yummm... one of my fav indulgences! I've chased after them all around the world to find the best ones. Though better in some places than others, these little bundles of heaven are guaranteed to surprise your tastebuds. They come in so many different flavors & colors, so they always make for a nice gift to a friend... or yourself ;) 
I'll have them any time, any day (sometimes I even cheat & have a few for breakfast... really though, they're an amazing wake up call with some coffee in the morning). But before I start rambling about how I always end up having way to many (Every TIME!)... if you love macarons as much as I do / or if you're thinking of having them for the first time (you're in for a treat),  here's a list of my fav macaron spots around the world:

Ladurée - New York, Paris, London
Vendôme Macaron - New York
Bisousciao - New York
La Maison du Chocolat - Paris, Cannes
Pierre Hermé - Paris, Tokyo
Gérard Mulot - Paris
Lenôtre - Paris
Lanka - London
Sugar Philly - Philadelphia


P.S. Some of these brands have boutiques in many other cities... only tested ones are referenced here!
Bon appétit!
