Macaron Day NYC: Sat March 20…

Dessert Truck Works Pomegranate macarons from Nov 2008

Updated: Georgia’s on the Upper West Side and Cannelle Patisserie in Queens have been added.

François Payard is organizing the first annual Macaron Day in NYC on Saturday, March 20.   Discover just how good these gourmet little pastries can be at one of the bakeries below.  These retailers will be offering a free macaron if you tell them you are there because of Macaron Day (of course you should tell them you are there because of  DessertBuzz too, but you won’t get anything extra).  As you would expect in a city of 8 million, supplies are limited so go early.

Macaron Day NYC is inspired by and will coincide with the 5th annual Jour du Macaron in Paris, organized by Pierre Hermé.

Nico, I am completely stumped as to why Macarons are so popular. My girlfriend goes crazy over them whenever she visits me in Paris. They just don’t do much for me….

There’a Wall St Journal Article about them from last week that addresses this question a bit. (Google it) but I think New Yorker’s consider themselves foodies and really like to treat themselves to what they feel is a gourmet treat, but I think they aren’t going to start eating huge heavy desserts or sweets and macarons at around 100 calories, are a way to indulge without feeling like a pig, say, after eating an entire Crumbs cupcake at >1000 Cals.

Man, F that. Dessert and 100 calories don’t belong in the same sentence. You can have one OR the other. I don’t even want to know how many calories I get when I slather half of bar of chocolate with chunky peanut butter….. Mmmmmmmm, making myself hungry!

this is just my guess and is only a theory- the calorie part is probably too specific. A lot of people would have a few macarons after work mid-week but might not have a couple of gelatos is all I am saying. Plus they’re colorful and cool looking
