Spring Is Finally Here! Here Are 10 Ways to Celebrate
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.
