12 Top Places for Afternoon Tea in NYC | Eater NY

"Alice’s Tea Cup has multiple locations, but the colorful West 73rd Street original is a favorite among long time fans. This is the place to book when visitors with children are in town, with whimsical painted walls, mismatched teaware, and special afternoon tea for kids. For adults, Alice’s offers multiple sizes of tea service depending on hunger levels. Pick from various flavors of scone — get the pumpkin if it’s available — and tea sandwiches, including lapsang-smoked chicken and tea-egg salad, to design a custom afternoon tea set. Warm scones can also be taken to go from the takeout counter." - Kathy YL Chan
