New York City's afternoon tea scene is having a major moment, and I’m taking you to three spots to experience it. From the charming Victorian elegance of Lady Mendl's Tea Salon in Gramercy to the immersive, NYC-inspired experience at The Peninsula Hotel's Gotham Lounge, and the iconic Russian Tea Room. Whether you're a tea enthusiast or just looking for a luxurious way to spend your afternoon, these spots deliver delicious bites, great atmosphere, and an elegant experience that afternoon tea was meant to be.
