Pierre Hermé
Macarons are my favorite cookies. There’s something very special and unique about the versatility of these texturally perfect special treats: light enough for a snack, fancy enough for a gift, yet tasty enough for anytime of the day. Is there any meal that wouldn’t pair perfectly with a macaron? I certainly can’t think of one. They even come savory, as seen with the foie gras macarons at Eleven Madison. You can only imagine my excitement to find out that Pierre Hermé would be along my walk to school, and also, ironically, on the way back from the gym. But so far, in the two weeks that I’ve been here, I’d always woken up a little too late and had to walk quickly to classes without time to stop by. And by the time classes end, Pierre Hermé was always closed. My nutritionist friend would be proud; that is, until this past Sunday, when I made it the day’s goal to stop by while it was open, and finally taste the wondrous goodies Pierre Hermé had to offer.

This is easily the most thoughtful review of Alinea that I've encountered--thanks a lot! While I still made a reservation to dine at Alinea a few weeks from now, I did it with far more hesitation due to some of the shortcomings you noted.
