Eat Some Macarons (Today is Macaron Day in New York!)
One nice springtime activity that has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not it’s nice out: eating a bunch of dainty, mouth-watering little french cookies. Today’s officially “Macaron Day,” so a few places (including Clinton Hill’s Michael Allen) around the city will be giving out a free cookie to anyone bold enough to ask; Gothamist has a handy map of the options. But you can also do some off-roading and pick up an assortment at any number of Brooklyn’s stellar bakeries, including Almondine in DUMBO, Beny’s Delice in Clinton Hill, and for a thicker version, Cookie Road in Greenpoint.
Michael Allen, 88 Washington Ave.
Beny’s Delice, 903 Fulton St., Clinton Hill
Almondine, 85 Water St.
Cookie Road, 94 Franklin St.
