FEINSCHMECKER ON WHEELS
EAT.PRAY.RIDE.LAUGH
On my bike:
I smiled and laughed till I cried..
I reflected on how blessed I am to be living in this amazing city.
I explored and appreciated New York City like never before..
I ate everything from hanger steak to Belgian waffles..
I made a few important decisions..
"I thought of it while riding my bicycle", is
reputedly what Albert Einstein said about his Special Theory of Relativity.
Even the genius himself loved it...
Friends are like macarons..
One is never enough..

French Stole My Sweet Tooth
(Pistachio flavor macaron, La Maison du Macaron Chelsea)
It was quarter past seven o' clock in the evening, I was still riding my bike in the Meatpacking District and Chelsea area when I randomly thought of indulging myself with French macarons. Since I was already in the area, I decided to ride all the way down to 7th avenue and made a right turn on West 23rd Street then I found myself at the doorsteps of La Maison Du Macaron, one of the best places to get a macaron in NYC. (at least in my opinion) They offer good quality and consistency in flavor and texture. (the best part about this little bakery: there's no line, has a cute seating area and it closes at 9pm)
My other favorite places to get macarons in Manhattan (in no particular order)
Laduree (Upper East Side)
Bouchon Bakery (Rockefeller Plaza or The Shops at Columbus Circle)
Bisou Bisou (West Village)
My Gentle Giant
(Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie, Levain Bakery UWS)
And also on Saturday, I decided I gotta have my chocolate chip cookie fix. And if I were to satisfy my craving, why settle for anything less when I can have the best.. So, I hopped on my Dutchi and rode it from Eastside to Westside and from Downtown I went Uptown..
I call it my Gentle Giant, die hard on the outside, soft and chewy with a choc-full of chips and walnut on the inside.. And the best thing about it, you always get it fresh from the oven.
"A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.." -Barbara Johnson
I enjoy being a girl
And I'm a girl who never leaves the house without my pearl earrings...
