Ladurée's magical Soho garden is finally ouvert for business! And as if that wasn't reason enough to drop everything you're doing, put on your most ladylike ensemble and get thee to Thompson Street - they're serving up Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches! So yeah, clear your schedule for the day.
For a modern Marie Antoinette moment, there could be no more pretty, perfect and delectable a summer treat than a Ladurée macaron filled with ice cream. For the classic dessert-ist, there's Chocolate Vanilla. For the fancy nut lover, there's Pistachio Raspberry. And for the aspirationally exotic, there's Ispahan (which is really just rose lychee). Each a petit joy that is surely too sensibly sized to possess any consequential amount of calories. Right?
Looking for a macaron situation with a ratio much heavier on the ice cream? I feel you, and so do their cups of homemade ice-creams and sorbets topped with a macaron beret of sorts. Très chic. Très French.
Bon été!
