Bouchon Bakery

After our afternoon of walking around on 9/11,
we stopped by Rockefeller Center to check things out.
LinkAcross the square was Bouchon Bakery.
Lindsie is a fan of the owner/chef, Thomas Keller, so we had to stop in and have dessert.

We ordered a pistachio macaroon, 2 parfaits, and hot chocolate.

The pistachio macaroon was very flavorful and had a rich pistachio flavor
and not overly sweet.


The Cookies n Cream parfait was very good and
my favorite part was the crumbled cookies on top.


The Strawberry parfait had a gel on top with an intense strawberry flavor which was quite addicting. Out of the two, the strawberry was my favorite, which is saying a lot as I am a chocoholic.

We both enjoyed our hot chocolates.

After our pit stop, we headed to St. Patrick's Cathedral to listen to a
special choral concert in honor of 9/11.

We actually lucked out on this concert. We were walking around after dessert and thought we'd just look inside. There were a lot of people inside and the choir had just walked onto stage so we decided to stick around awhile. The pipe organ rocked!
