"No one makes macarons as well as Ladurée, so we’re pleased to report that they’re a centerpiece of the afternoon tea set at this frothy French chain with a courtyard in Soho. On your tower, you get three macarons per person, plus another six to take home. This experience leans heavily on the sweet side, but everything is pastel-colored and delightful. Instead of a variety of bite-sized pastries, you’ll get one full-sized dessert per person, as well as two large tea sandwiches. The sandwiches are a bit boring, but they taste higher quality than the ones served at most tea parlors." - carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
