And as a partial Mainiac, do try the Lobster Rolls at "Lukes," when you get to NYC - they can make you feel like you're in a real Maine coast seashore shack.

Just curious your opinion. It has been a year since a Laudree macaron passed my lips and I fear I have forgotten what they RELLY taste like.
