François Payard, chef and owner of François Chocolate Bar in New York, is organizing the first annual Macaron Day in NYC on Saturday, March 20, 2010. Macaron Day NYC is inspired by and will coincide with the 5th annual Jour du Macaron in Paris, created by Pierre Hermé.
 
Join us on Saturday, March 20 to discover macarons in New York as bakeries across the city come together to provide free macarons to customers.

To receive a free macaron tell the shop you are there for Macaron Day NYC.

Participating locations will provide one macaron per customer with quantities limited by location.
 
Want more macarons? At many participating locations, a portion of the day’s macaron sales will be donated to City Harvest. Indulge in macarons while contributing to the efforts of City Harvest. City Harvest (www.CityHarvest.org), which has been serving New York City for more than 25 years, is the world's first food rescue organization, dedicated to feeding the city's hungry men, women, and children.
