During last weeks trip to New York City I bought macarons from two different locations, La Maison Du Chocolat and Bouchon Bakery.  Both places had better macarons then the macarons at Patisseire Poupon in Baltimore. 

La Maison Du Chocolat is located at 30 Rockefeller Plaza next to the NBC Studios entrance.  All of the macarons we decided to get had chocolate in them, coffee, raspberry, caramel, chocolate, and vanilla cookies with a chocolate ganache filling. Macarons here costed $2.50 each

At Bouchon Bakery located at the Time Warner Center I bought three flavors of macarons, vanilla, chocolate, and caramel.  Macarons here were $3.00 each.  The macarons were filled with butter cream, except for the chocolate made with ganache.
 
For taste our favorite was the coffee macarons at La Maison Du Chocolat.  But the vanilla at Bouchon was a close second (the fact that it was made with real vanilla beans really helped the flavor.)  As for value Bouchon Bakery was better priced.  Eventhough the cost at Bouchon is $.50 more a macaron, they are much larger.  La Maison had a larger macaron for $5, but I did not try it to tell how it is. 

Next time we go to NYC our plan is to stop at La Maison and get some more coffee macarons and vanilla macarons from Bouchon.
