Macarons are perhaps one of my favorite cookies – mostly because they come in a million different flavors and are so darn photogenic! So I’m a latecomer to this news, but I have just been informed that there is a temporary Macaron store in the Park Hyatt (800 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago). The temporary story is the brainchild of Andrés Lara, the pastry chef at NoMi, in the Park Hyatt. The store is called “La Boule de Noël” (round Christmas Tree Ornament) and is open 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, until Dec. 31. Each Macaron is $2, in a range of flavors from traditional to exotic. I’m there!
