So, when I was looking at the macaron map for NY, one of the notable bakery was Dominique Ansel in Soho. It is on Spring Street which is near alot of cool boutiques. Just look for the yellow awning. They definitely have a wide array of macarons, viennoiserie, cakes, tarts, cookies. But don't be fooled, they also serve breakfast and lunch.
How lovely is this Pistachio Religieuse. I've never seen that before and out of all the yummy cakes and tarts in front of me, this one draw my attention. It's essentially a mini cream puff on top of a bigger cream puff but decorated with pistachio icing and decorated with mini salted pistachios and cream on the side.
If you go to their site, it might be intimidating to see a shotgun style salon as the bakery. But as you go towards the back, you'll see a greenhouse type sitting around where you have a direct view of the pastry chefs making your delectable goodies, and they do have a few tables on the outside, so you can enjoy the weather and watch kids playing in the park.
I know I trekked all the way here and didn't even have a macaron, but they just got too much good stuff in that pastry case and then some, just can't have them all. Tab it for next trip.
