When it's time to relax, unfold your senses and simmer in an amalgam of your thoughts, no beverage other than the tea come to my mind.
Whether you like your cuppa tea served in a calming green tone with freshly boiled leaves or refreshing black with a dash of cream and sugar....there's a little for every personality in the various tea rooms established all over New York city.
And when I am not inclined towards hunting down one of these divine tea rooms, I just turn around the corner and enter through those doors marked with the friendly, green Starbucks logo :)
