The Whitby Bar

The 10 Best Afternoon Teas In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"A massive space, The Whitby has a bunch of random mismatched things that look like they were collected from various estate sales. Afternoon tea starts at $75 and it’s perfect for when you want to dress up a little, sit in front of a full set of gold-trimmed dishware, and have a crisp linen napkin placed on your lap. The food is mostly fine, although the lemony crème fraîche in the smoked salmon sandwich is a nice detail, and we’d happily eat the cubed coconut and pumpkin dulce de leche lamington any day. We also like that they use loose leaf tea. It gets crowded, so make a reservation." - Carina Finn Koeppicus, Kenny Yang, Will Hartman
