Coffee? Tea?

For Coffee Breaks and Afternoon Tea









Cafe La Fortuna
69 W 71ST St
New York, NY 10023
(212) 724-5846
An Upper West Side classic. Family-owned and run since forever. This is the place Lennon and Ono used to hang out. With their strict Opera only music selections, and their wonderful coffee and Italian desserts, this neighborhood spot is perfect for the casual get-together.

Wild Lily Tea Room
511 W 22nd St
New York, NY 10011
(212) 691-2258
This absolutely beautiful Japanese Tea Room has its own fish pond, a long list of traditional and nouveau Asian teas, and a lovely selection of edible goodies.

Edgar's Cafe
255 W 84th St.
New York, NY 10024
(212) 496-6126
Looking for a place with a great menu and a great cup of tea or coffee? This is it. Huge salads, wonderful sandwiches, and pastries too; plus, the place is painted to look like an aging English flat... tally ho!

The Carlyle Hotel
35 E 76th St
New York, NY 10021
(212) 744-1600
One of the last places in NYC where you can get a proper Afternoon English Tea with all the fixins'. Since the close of the Plaza (moment of silence please), the Carlyle has taken on the duty of one the only NYC hotels to still serve tea. I would suggest calling ahead, and saving that loose change for this one though.


Cafe Palermo
148 Mulberry St
New York, NY 10013
(212) 431-4205
Go to Ferrara's for "old timey" Little Italy, or go to this friendlier, and cheaper cafe. Good food and desserts, gelato, and of course, coffee.
