Macarons from Cannelle Pastisserie, Macaron Day NYC. They were super nice to throw in extras with my purchase even though I had already claimed the promotional one. If I had to guess, these macarons are local. Clean, fresh, and vibrantly flavorful, I wasn’t planning on buying any, but these were among the best I had, so I went ahead and bought their box of 10. I believe it was $12, which is as much a steal as the rest of their products.

Cannelle Pastisserie, Jackson Heights 75-59 31st Avenue Queens, NY 11370 Clockwise from top right: Coco Fraise, Chocolate Mousse, Mixed Fruit Tart. I have yet to get anything from Cannelle that was anything short of wonderful, but the Coco Fraise was cold, light, creamy, and awake with the taste and aroma of strawberry. The other two went to my girlfriend, so ask her how they were.

The pedestrian overpass over the Long Island Expressway, right by LeFrak City in Rego Park. The only thing serving as a railing is a chain link fence, so it looks like there’s nothing to lean on while you cross. You can feel the cars pass beneath you and the bridge shake on a windy day. It’s an especially beautiful view at night.
