Maison Ladurée

I just learned Ladurée recently opened a shop in NYC!  I'll be making a trip to the city very soon, so I'm super excited that I'll be able to visit the shop so shortly after its opening :)  The store in NYC is called Maison Ladurée, and is located in the Upper East Side.  For those who aren't familiar with Ladurée, it originated in Paris in 1862 as a tea salon.  Over time, they expanded to multiple locations within Paris.  Now, their empire is world famous with locations scattered throughout Europe, Asia, and now, the U.S.  They are credited with popularizing the modern French macaron, which you may now know is a current obsession of mine.  A post about my visit to Maison Ladurée is in the near future  ;)
