It was such a lovely way to while away a wet afternoon. I know coffee is more popular in NY but I am always mad about tea. Since the city empties out during the July 4th weekend, it seems like the perfect time to try the otherwise highly sought-after Lady Mendl’s. Lady Mendl’s is really very lovely. Tucked away in an old brownstone, the tea salon resembles a cozy (but very luxurious) living room of someone fabulous and we were simply invited to take tea with her. Service was great, most of the time, we were not even allowed to pour our own tea (Now, that’s an establishment working for their tips). The place was rather quiet so I didn’t feel that self-conscious snapping away. The scones were the highlight for me but I was too excited to get started on them that by the time I remembered to take pictures, they were gone…

Yuling, the sugar cube is really very pretty. I couldn’t bear to drop it in my tea and when I looked around, I wasn’t the only one! Go ahead and make yourself a pot! It’s decaf rite??
Why thank you, John! Very glad someone noticed the dress. Heh. NY’s been great but I am leaving the end of the month! Hoping HK will be even greater! Come to HK soon yah?
Min, it’s really very nice place. Think you will love it. I will include it in my list of NY restaurants and pass that to you for you US trip! Sorry, I wish I could say I was busy packing hence the lack of updates. But I barely started packing so guess I am just lazy…
