Macaron fans, prepare to get really excited… Blondie and Brownie are reporting that macarons from Itzy Bitzy patisserie are now available at Tafu, the Japanese tea house and bakery on 51st btw. Lex+3rd. Previously these macarons, which Serious Eats called the best macarons outside of Paris, were only available through mail order, or at the Brooklyn Flea. This is great news for those of you on the East side who don’t want to trek to Bouchon Bakery (Columbus Circle) or the Macaron Cafe (36th btw. B’way+7th) for your french cookie fix.
Tafu, 569 Lexington Ave. (entrance on 51st btw. Lex+3rd), 212-980-1310

i didn’t ask, but i would guess Mitzy has to drop them off once or twice a week.
-
these are both out of bounds, but other places in Manhattan for EXCELLENT macarons are Tisserie on Union Square, and Payard on Lexington in the 70s. definitely some “serious eats.”
-
I thought, from that photo, that this was some new competition for Burger Joint.

The macarons are delivered Saturday mornings :)

@pandamystery: Tisserie is moving from Union Square to the Park Central Hotel (7th and 55th).

@Kathy – hmm … I just called and the lady who answered said they are delivered on Mondays?!?
Do you know when they get their deliveries? I love fresh macarons.
