Bastille Day

If you were wearing a striped shirt yesterday, dressed in blue, wore a beret, carried a quilted bag... And dragging around a small dog around, you were appropriately dressed for Bastille Day in New York. Then you were allowed to eat all the tarte framboise to your heart's content... Or tarte citron... Patisserie Payard was calling the dress code, so stripes rule... President was handing out free fromage tastes...L.A. Burdict had practically free, very intense cold chocolat for a mere $2 created especially for the day... Galeries Lafayette had free Paris maps for all... Not free, but I should have bought it -a Girl's Guide to Paris sac... Really yesterday's fair should have been called Macaron Day in my opinion...Macaron Cafe had lots of flavors and colors...

I felt I had to buy some for research purposes - 2 macs for $5...hmmm
Down the rue a bit, Mad MacNYC was low on flavors and colors, maybe because they were selling bags of 6 macarons for $5. Chef Florian Bellanger is in the background minus a head...
This Frenchie taste tester gave the seal of approval on the framboise...
I bought a tray of macarons in Classic French flavors at a special Bastille price - these would be just perfect to serve at the Alliance Francais exhibits in DC and Philadelphia I'm thinking...
Seen at Bastille Day - this EXACT macaron necklace bought somewhere in Paris - no single pendents need apply - sorry Boucheron

If you know where I can buy this necklace you can win this watercolor!
BONJOUR BASTILLE DAY New York!
