Girls Afternoon Out: Selected High Tea in NYC

A cup of fine tea and layers of mini sandwich and desserts in a quiet places with girl friends is what I think a best way to spend a afternoon in NYC.

Here I picked 3 afternoon high tea places that will make your day.

1. Alice's Tea Cup
This quaint tea house is definitely something to experience, but I am content just going once. The decor was charmingly miss-matched like the Story Alice and Wonderland. It has a large collection of tea and delicious desserts. The decorations alone transport you to another world. If you like mix-matched tea cups, an assortment of "Tea Cup Party" bites and hat overall antique/mystical vibe, this is your place.

Lady Mendl's Tea House is located near Union Square,in a elegant hotel  Irving Place. The Tea House is  intended for the customer to re-create the atmosphere of Victorian afternoon tea.  The Tea House doesn't have a sign outside, it is very easy to miss it. but once you find it, you will fall in love with it.
