"James Beard Award-winning chef Carrie Nahabedian has a hit on her hands with Tipsy Tea Parties, her boozy take on high tea at Kostali inside the Gwen hotel. Groups can opt for Spill the Tea packages featuring alcohol-infused cuppas like Glow UP (Hennessey infused with apple cranberry tea, cinnamon syrup, and apple) alongside towers of sweet and savory snacks. Reservations and more details are available online." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
