Payard, the phantasmagorical patisserie on New York City's Upper East Side, has officially closed. Francois Payard, the acclaimed pastry chef could not carry the burden of a 50% increase in rent required by the landlord. Tastings, the associated catering company will continue to operate.
While famous for it's brightly colored french macaroons, my favorite, tasted on a visit in January, were the small almond and pistachio tea cakes.
