At least one shop in DC is participating in Macaron Day – I wonder if we can use that to nudge other shops into joining up, though we still won’t have access to La Maison’s creations (grumble…). That is a serious list of participants.

I think this is the kind of thing that will grow -slowly but in a few years we’ll say “remember when just a few shops participated?”

Niko what pastry shop you recommend me to go? I love macaron.

Antonio,

There are quite a few good ones on the list. I have reviewed nearly all the one’s above on the site. Near you Biso and Payard are great. The Macaron Cafe has some great citrus flavored macarons and a few other flavors (midtown) Of course Bouchon (Time Warner Center) and Payard (Plaza) also have excellent macarons too. Uptown, both Georgia’s is really good you just have to make sure they are fresh (I like to ask which has the most turnover)

I went to Bisou ciao today and I bought a box of 6 macaron and I ate everything and left me wanting more. The caramel macaron, pistachio and rosewater are out of control. For me one of the best macaron place in NYC.

@ Antonio – many commenters have said that the Bisou Ciao macarons are excellent. I definitely have to get myself down there.
