Divorce may be ugly, but these macaroons look just lovely. They come from Zana Café (on 7th Ave. near 9th Street), a bakery that was born when the once-married owners of Delices de Paris (321 Ninth St. at Fifth Ave.) split and ex-wife Rosana Rosa decided to open up her own shop. “At her new joint, she sells French-Italian pastries and European products — just like Delices de Paris,” the Brooklyn Papers reports. “And her walls are painted happy yellow — just like Delices de Paris.” Ex-husband Michael Martin, who is still working at Delices, isn’t happy about the copycat move — he posted a sign saying that he has nothing to do with Zana’s. This seems a bit odd, since Zana’s is already getting rave reviews — and certainly doesn’t seem to be tarnishing the Delices reputation. According to local blogger Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn, the lattes and macaroons at Zana Café are as delicious as they were at Delices. Has anybody else tried the new pastisserie?
