This event looks like a lot of fun, especially for those Macaron-lovers out there. After all, what is there not to love about these light little treats? If you enjoy popping macarons as much as I do, make sure to join in on this event. It takes place on Saturday, March 20, 2010 so mark your calendars. “To receive a free macaron tell the shop you are there for Macaron Day NYC.” It looks like there are a lot of places participating so I want to highlight a few:

– Bouchon Bakery
– La Maison du Chocolat
– Dessert Truck Works

The best part of this is that all proceeds go to City Harvest (www.CityHarvest.org), the world’s first food rescue organization, and has been servicing New York for over 25 years. For more information on participants and other aspects of this day, check out the website.
