Macaron Parlour
I really don’t know that much about macarons besides that they’re sweet and (if done well) delicious, so I was pleased when the team behind Macaron Parlour invited me to a preview event. Opened by husband and wife team Christine Ha & Simon Tung (both with a baking background), they started out at the Hester Street Fair […]

I love coffee, I never have a bad time at Vandaag (reviews) & it seems that the speakers (tasters, roasters & baristas) know what they’re doing. Problem is, I can’t find any information on […]
