The weather is already cooling off as we near the end of August, and many of the small in-city farmers' markets are coming to a close. It's a great time to get out and take a walk around. Also, walking its a great opportunity to check out all the new restaurants opening, as well as sampling what they might have to offer. Here are some eating notes I've collected in the last little while during my travels around the city.

Macaron Vs Macaroon

Jen — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 22:15:38 +0000

My Wednesday was a bit of a mind-melt. Akin to the mind-melt they had when the earth was at the center of the solar system and some wank named Copernicus was stirring things up. It began with the following Twitter exchange: @CharliesBurgers Received a box of 4 Laduree Macaroons from Paris. The Rolls Royce of ...more

Why Winterlicious?

By now, some of you may have figured out that I love dining out and eating new, as well as familiar, foods.

Prepared For Packing Macarons

Jen — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 03:05:30 +0000

My sister is awesome. While traveling Europe, she sent home some Ladurée macarons with a friend. Knowing that it would be a long and arduous journey for such delicate cookies (5 days!) before they got into my hands, she came up with a game-plan for optimal freshness. While they didn’t all perfectly survive, (I will ...more
