laduree macarons

drew and i are heading back to portland tonight, so i'm trying to soak up every last minute at home before we have to go to the dreaded jfk airport. while we're waiting for hours and hours in baggage and security lines, i'll be reflecting on all the happy memories from my visit. like last thursday, when i took my requisite trip to brooklyn. i'm not sure there's anything better than spending 24 precious hours eating, shopping, and staying out late with my best friends.

before going to grand central, i had to make one important stop in manhattan: laduree. the nyc flagship store has the macarons shipped from paris three times a week! i waited in line for an hour and paid a ridiculous amount for them (i chose salted caramel, dark chocolate and rose petal), but they were so worth it.
