Visited the Ocean Spray cranberry bog at Rockefeller Center, an annual installation that I'd not been aware of. It's cute, but a cranberry bog is probably more exciting
in situ. In midtown, it's just a bunch of floating cranberries, although I did appreciate the free juice.
The tourist-riddled area is also home to
La Maison du Chocolat, which is well worth a visit, particularly if you've got money that you don't know how to get rid of. I bought two macarons--raspberry and coffee--that were, in fact, well worth the $2.50 price tag, even though each one was about the size of a stack of three silver dollars.* The raspberry was particularly well executed, suffused with the essence of the berry without being in the least cloying. The coffee leaned a bit toward the mocha, but was quite satisfying as well. More fun that a tubful of cranberries!
*Sadly, they barely survived the trip home in my purse.
