macarons assortis in NYC
Just returned from Paris where I ate many delicious varieties of what must be the official Paris cookie: the macaroon. I am already missing France and I figure I can soothe my sadness by attempting to eat more macaroons like I had in Paris. But they have to be THE BEST. Anyone know where I can get them?

my favorite macaroons are by french bakery Payard. Not on website I don't think, but definitely in store. http://www.payard.com/home.php

About a year ago, a friend and I went on a macaron hunt ever since we've graced our palates with *awesome* Pierre Herme macarons. Despite the fact we haven't found an equivalent, the closest is the ones we've found were from La Maison du Chocolat (they have 2 locations in Rockefeller Center and the Upper East Side).

re: chocokitty
La Maison is are my favorite, too, although Madeleine wins out in flavor variety (but execution can vary widely and sometimes an advertised flavor just means that the cream in the middle is different).
THE BEST macarons though are probably not to be found in NYC. I mean, La Maison ships them in every day other from France, that is why they are so delicious.

A has described them as "not bad for the price" but they don't always have them:
