Indulge in macarons while contributing to the efforts of City Harvest.<\/strong> Now serving New York City for 30 years, City Harvest (www.CityHarvest.org) is the world’s first food rescue organization, dedicated to feeding the city\u2019s hungry men, women, and children.<\/p>\n

One of our favorite venues is Macaron Parlour!<\/strong>
\nMacaron Parlour was founded in 2010 by Christina Ha and Simon Tung. The dynamic duo independently fantasized about opening their own bakery and upon meeting, Macaron Parlour was born. Christina has a love for bite sized petit fours and studied macarons at La Haute P\u00e2tisserie Pierre Herm\u00e9 in Paris. Simon perfected his macaron technique with M.O.F. Stephane Glacier. You must try the candied bacon with maple cream cheese macaron!<\/strong>

This year, City Harvest will collect more than 42 million pounds of excess food from all segments of the food industry, including restaurants, grocers, corporate cafeterias, manufacturers, and farms. This food is then delivered free of charge to some 600 community food programs throughout New York City by a fleet of trucks and bikes. City Harvest helps feed the more than one million New Yorkers that face hunger each year.<\/p>\n
