Paris vs. New York

 Looking for pink in New York takes extra effort. And it may smack you in the face like this giant heart candy (an artwork) on Madison Avenue.
 I tasted tiny pink sugar hearts in an UES(upper East side) penthouse on Saturday. They're from Chambre de Sucre (Japanese). You can win some you go to Une Deux Senses.
 New York is full of Paris' pinks like this Eiffle Tower at Pylones...
 Comparisons are not odious if you're reading Vahram Muratyan's Paris Versus New York-an adorable gift book for the Paris/New York obsessed.
 A few sample pages just in case you haven't clicked on Muratyan's FAB blog...
 I beg to differ with Mr. Muratyan on this page...
 And New York's macaron obsession (these are from Patisserie Ceci-Cela) the tables have turned don't you think?
 Amelie vs. Carrie...mais oui
 Ralph is better doing a pink trench...
 And French Jacadi on Madison does perfect French stripes.
 Both towns are neck and neck...
When it comes to little shop dogs don't you think?

  7. Don't be too hard on Mr. Muratyan....with long lead times to press, he can't possibly be as au courant as you!

    The Cupcake invasion of Paris has been going on far too long IMHO.
    I would love to see a hasty retreat and soon!

  11. I MUST get that book. Since I've lived in both NY & Paris, it's always a toss up as to which I love the most...like trying to decide which is my favorite child...I love them both!!!
