Goodbye, cupcakes; hello, macarons?

Mark my words: In Sex and the City 4, the girls are gonna do the same shit again in a different country or location, but SJP’s going to be chomping down on a macraron. No, not the tiny little Jewish coconut kind; the fancy French kind (more about the difference here) popular at frou-frou bakeries likeĀ Bouchon and the soon-to-open Francois Payard, not to mention amongst the Brooklyn food market crowd.

In two years, somewhere in Georgetown, a gaggle of girls in short skirts and sensible shoes will be waiting outside the Georgetown Macaronerie. And I will be pleased, because who the hell wants a $4 cupcake, anyway?

[P.s. researching an article on these little fellas, so if you know of any bakeries or small, indie vendors with good macarons, in Brooklyn or anywhere, let me know!]
