in honor of Bastille Day, flashback to that magical Mokum meringue moment....

Mokum recently joined the upper west side neighborhood with internationally inspired food in a warm, welcoming setting that is inviting to all the senses.

i actually tried this monumental meringue on Memorial Day Weekend.

i carried it home in a to go bag and plunked it on a little "Paris" themed plate given to me by my Mama.

magnifique!
