But the other stuff there looked great.The Millhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016699084905221325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34307769.post-20014718759774589162008-04-08T18:32:00.000-04:002008-04-08T18:32:00.000-04:00Welcome to the borough from Sheryl and Jeff!You re...Welcome to the borough from Sheryl and Jeff!<BR/><BR/>You <I>really</I> need to try the baked goods, specifically the French <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaron" REL="nofollow">macarons</A> (which have nothing to do with coconut macaroons), at <A HREF="http://www.almondinebakery.com/" REL="nofollow">Almondine</A>.
