There are much better macarons in a place called madelines on 23rd street I assure you will not be dissapointed I went there recently when there weren’t anyone around and the macarons were a bit to thick and rough to eat.

They are just as good if not better than La Duree in Paris. They were the hit of our Thanksgiving Party! They are fantastic, and trust...we gays are very hard to please! The Macaroons are amazing!

I have been eating the macarons here for a while, but after a friend's suggestion, I went for a sandwich. I have just had maybe the best lunch I have ever eaten at my desk. The special today was a Duck sandwich with French cornichons and I finished it off with a Creme Brulee macaron, aka the best flavor ever. The Duck was a pate-like consistency, I forget the technical name, but it was so rich and flavorful I can still taste it. I think I'm love with lunch... Oh my goodness.

Then there was the orange-blossom macaron for the walk back to work.... my first thought when I bit into it was, I have to get the guy who's making my wedding cake to taste this! Midtown Lunch, you are the temp's hero. :-) Had lunch here today – the Venezia salad was lovely, and when I sat at one of the couches they brought me a little water jug, a glass of ice, and some bread while i waited.

The ones at La Maison du Chocolat are the same price (2 bucks for the small one) and are of a much higher quality. I went over and tried a chocolate macaron – it just didn’t do it for me.

The sandwiches coming out looked great and they had a sandwich special that featured crab. I only got dessert - an iced coffee (made with fresh brewed espresso!!!!!!) and some macarons (lemon & pistachio). This is my first time trying macarons, so I wasn't sure they'd meet the hype, but they really did. They hit all the senses - the colors are fanciful, they are wonderfully fragrant, and have a thin crispy shell that gives in an almost spongey cookie inside. The lemon is a real explosion of lemon flavor, while the pistachio was more subtle. I'm absolutely in love with these cookies. I went over here today around 12:45 – the line was out the door.
