Return to Maison Laduree



One of my favorite posts of 2013 included photographs of Laduree Maison, a pastry shop on the Upper East Side. Their specialty sweet is the macaron, a brightly colored almond meringue wafer with delicious fillings. While I was researching the post I read that another branch of the French pastry stores would be opening in Soho Lower Manhattan this winter. With the winter being what it was I didn't make my trip to visit Laduree Soho until this Friday, but as part of Blogging from A to Z April Challenge I am happy to feature Laduree Soho as our "L." Instead of the gold holiday look this window was dressed in its bright yellow spring finery, but the macarons looked equally delicious.

Laduree Soho is a complete restaurant that is lovely. It was just a little too pricy for a random cup of coffee and a macaron, but it would be the perfect spot for a birthday celebration tea. If you'd like to order a different pastry there is lots to choose from.


But the star of the show is the macaron...

Whether it's the mostly pastel macaron...

...or the mostly chocolate, they all look delicious. 

I hope you've enjoyed our delicious visit to Laduree. I hope you will stop back tomorrow for a very different post for M, and a very different macaron. 

I'm off to finish a few quick errands and some last minute Passover preparation. For those celebrating Passover, wishes for a very sweet Passover -- that's the traditional greeting. For citizens of Buttercupland celebrating Easter, have a bright and blessed Holy Week. And to all, wishes for sunshine, health and happiness. Thanks, as always, for your visits.

There was a recipe for macaroons this weekend in Parade magazine. I plan on baking some tomorrow.

Laduree Maison looks like the perfect place to go for us who have a sweet tooth.

We're in your neck of the woods, and loving it! No wonder you can do an A-Z of lovely eateries in New York, we have been spoilt for choice. I bought my daughter a cupcake tour of NYC I wonder if she stopped her, she did go to a macaron place!

My friend from PA. once told me he heard you could eat out three times a day in NYC and never go to the same place twice! Amazing. Love the macaroons. They present so beautifully.
