PHOTO ▲: Ladurée Coconut vs. Ladurée Vanilla
Ladurée, Paris, is one of the new crazes here in New York City, and apparently in Paris. At $2.70 per Macaroon, you have to wonder how good they are when three bites is what it takes to eat one; yeah, about a dollar per bite.
Well, I like them, but it all really depends on the flavor you choose, and in this case Vanilla (right) > Coconut (left)!
