After having Pierre Herme in Paris, I was hooked on macarons (like many of the previous posts). I have tried them in the States and have thus far been slightly disappointed... However, on a recent trip to NYC, a friend had brought me some that were absolutely amazing (delicate structure with a refined taste) that took me right back to Paris. I only wish that they would ship these outside of NY! But if you live in the city, do yourself a favor and check out:

Another Robyn (albeit with one n) who is as obsessed with French macarons as I am! (By the way, only six more days until the arrival of Pierre Hermé's églantine, figue & foie gras macarons.) You have rounded out my macaron education - thank you very much - and I totally agree with your run-down on what makes a good macaron. I will send all inquiries on macarons to your posting, from now on. My office is located between the new Pierre Hermé (on rue Cambon) and Laduree (on rue Royal), so perhaps I'll see you at one of the two on your next trip to Paris!
