Macaroons

[Crepe Suzette]

Where can I find interesting/delicious macaroons for a seder?

thanks!

Coconut Macaroons? Le Pain Quotidien by far is the best I ever had!!!!mmmmmmm

You might try Bouchon Bakery. They are deadly. (Frankly, I never knew flour was a component of a macaroon.)
And to this day, I STILL don't know what a macaron is.

You have to try a macaron - I'd suggest Kee's, or Madeleine on 23rd Street. Payard also has them. Not sure of UWS places that might.

Bouchon did have them (the non-coconut type)...but they aren't as good as Madeleine's... In the counter next to the cash register top row.

Do you need them to be kosher? If so, I really wouldn't know where to recommend. But I do know that the most delicious macatoons I've had lately are at Le Madeleine on W. 23rd.

I do need them to be kosher for passover...aka, no flour.

You may want to try posting on the kosher board, then, as well. Good luck!

vvvindaloo, you are speaking of the French style macarons, made with egg whites, almond powder, icing sugar and sugar. They look like tiny candy hamburger sandwiches.

Crepe Suzette, are you looking for that kind of maracoon, or the coconut kind?

[vvvindaloo]

aha! macaroons, as in the coconut confection. in that case, I would try somewhere like Gertel's.
