Five Places for Afternoon Tea in New York
New Yorkers survive the busy pace of life in the city by fueling themselves on coffee. I'll admit that I'm a coffee-holic myself, but over the years I've found a new appreciation for the other hot beverage...tea. A great cup of tea is just the thing to indulge in if you need a mellow moment. Fortunately the Big Apple has a variety of unique tea houses where you can enjoy some fresh brew and a much coveted moment of zen. No matter what your budget or brew of preference is, there is a tea spot for you in the city.
Harney & Sons in SoHo is also a place I would recommend. They have a libray of teas that can be sampled before being purchased and a small eating area in the back where they serve deliciuos scones.
