French macarons come in an array of bright and lively colors and flavors, and are fast becoming popular wherever they can be found &#8211; which, outside Paris, isn&#8217;t all that many places&#8230;yet. Coaxed along by the world famous award-winning pastry chef Francois  Payard, this French favorite&#8217;s moment seems to have arrived stateside, where it is slowly making its way into the American public&#8217;s lexicon of culinary delights.</p>
<p>Beginning one year ago, with the establishment of <a href="http://macarondaynyc.com/">Macaron Day NYC 2010</a>, Payard began a new American tradition that reflects one celebrated in his native Paris each year  – <a href="http://www.pierreherme.com/index.cgi?&amp;cwsid=7721ph0A000108ph6012586">Jour du Macaron</a>, a creation of La Maison Pierre Hermé.</p>
<p><a href="http://macarondaynyc.com/"><img class="alignleft" style="margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.lrbakery.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/JourDuMacaronLogo_Trans.png" alt="Jour Du Macaron " width="182" height="187" /></a>With this year&#8217;s celebration of Macaron Day NYC 2011 on March 20, participating bakeries in the New York area, including La Renaissance Patisserie, will be offering a free macaron to every customer. If you haven&#8217;t tried a French macaron yet, be prepared to fall in love with this ex-pat Parisian. Visit La Renaissance in Scarsdale, NY on Sunday, March 20 to see what all the fuss is about&#8230;</p>
