Mitzy’s Macaron Alert
If you have been having trouble scoring the Itzy Bitzy macarons that are now being to delivered on Saturday mornings to Tafu (51st btw. Lex+3rd.), Kathy from A Passion for Food sends along this message from Mitzy herself regarding mid-week reinforcements: “I made another delivery to Tafu yesterday since Monday’s batches were gone already.” I’d go now if you’re interested, they probably won’t last long.

I just went like.. 30 minutes ago.
Three notes:
1. I asked about how much a box of six was and the lady behind the counter was like “$16.50 a box and $17.85 with tax I think.” Seriously, how many do they sell a day that she memorized this?
2. For individual macarons, they only had green tea ones which to be honest, hasn’t gotten much recognition thus far. I really had no intention of buying a box that had green tea, much less only individual green tea ones.
3. I’m cheap as hell so when you tell me macarons are $2.50 individually, a lil math tells me for 6 that’s $15.00. So basically if I buy a box, I’m paying $1.50 for the box. Uh… maybe I’ll just take them in a plastic bag. Of course me saying this would probably cause them to up the price to $3.00 to make it worth while to buy the whole box.
I actually forgot to ask if they had the box of six because I was disappointed that they didn’t have them individually. I was there last Friday after work, no dice. Today at lunch. No dice. I even went to the Indoor version of Brooklyn Flea on Sunday to discover they ain’t got food. Yes, in the last 8 days I’ve tried to procure these macarons three times and came up empty 3 times. You people. STOP EATING SO MANY! SAVE SOME FOR ME! Come on!
Either this or I need to get some insider info from Kathy of when exactly these things get delivered. Jeebus they run out fast.

I just went there as well today and no luck (I was not going to buy the green tea since I didn’t love it the first time around). I have gone one other time this week and got 2 pistachio (which were amazing but vanilla is still my favorite). The lady behind the counter told me they will have more on Monday.

Wait, is she delivering Mondays and Wednesdays or Saturdays (with her regular deliveries) and Wednesdays?
I went early on Tuesday and they only had chocolate and matcha. Wish I could have gone back later after they got the delivery.
