S'amore made-to-order almond salted dark chocolate s'more
The Hester Street Market opened their season to huge crowds on Saturday and the food stalls seemed to be the biggest draw. There were plenty of all-new savory and sweet vendors in attendance so I brought a civilian accomplice in order try as much as possible. Here are a few of the vendors I visited.
One of the coolest and most accessible food events in New York City is the annual Macaron Day. This year the event will be held on Tuesday, March 20 and it promises to be better than ever with a number of excellent new bakeries participating for the first time such as Dominique Ansel bakery and the (recently reviewed) Epicerie Boulud.

Some of my favorite picks are featured below. (more…)

Bisous Ciao had the NYC macaron crown for almost 2 years
Why is it so important for New Yorkers to know what other people think is “the best”? With the opening of Laduree in New York City there has been a considerable amount of macaron hype, most of it around how superior their macarons are to everything else.
