BonBon brings its Swedish fish to the Upper East Side

Bonbon, the Swedish candy store with hundreds of options, introduced itself to New York’s Lower East Side, then followed with a store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. An elaborately decorated shop is now opening on the Upper East Side. Its three partners, all Swedish nationals, offer their own line, the first of its kind, of Swedish gummy fish in tart flavors of wild strawberry, peach, blackberry and elderflower, as well as sweet wild strawberry. There will be tastings in the new store and soon, a batch of licorice candies.

Competition for macarons? Eugenie appears for the first time.

Can the iconic macaron ambassador dethrone his own icon? Mostly not. But Ladurée, the Paris-based international company that has been baking macaroons since 1862, offers a tempting competitor: Eugenie. On sale starting Thursday, it’s also a filled cookie, but crunchier and more elaborate than a macaron. Each gluten-free cookie is coated with a filling of flavored caramel or cream and dipped in dark, white or colored chocolate, for a confectionery’s expression of crunchy taffeta and soft velvet. Named after Empress Eugenie de Montijo who ruled with Napoleon III during the same period as the birth of the macaron, it deserves a place at teatime and gift-giving.

Eugenie Cookies, $3.20 each, Six for $24, 12 for $45, 18 for $63, Laduree Stores, laduree.us.

Rosh Hashanah hasn’t yet been celebrated, and the Yom Kippur fast hasn’t begun, but the Bernard Jewish Museum at the Imano-El Synagogue, on the Upper East Side, is already preparing for Sukkot. For the holiday, this year from September 29 to October 6, there will be “Etrog: The Wandering Fruit”, an exhibition about the fruit that is a symbol of the week-long festival. Citrus or citron is a football-shaped citrus, with more rind than pulp, and has a deep holiday meaning – the harvest festival that symbolizes the Jews’ survival in the desert. On display in the museum are artifacts, manuscripts, artifacts, traditional symbols, and others to explain the citron and its importance. Don’t expect any mention of how to enhance your birthday fruitcake.

“Etrog: The Wandering Fruit,” through November 20, Barnard Jewish Museum, Synagogue Emanuel El, One East 65th Street, 212-744-1400, emanuelnyc.org.
