N.Y. Lounge Boutique

With its plush sofa seating and soft, subdued lighting, N.Y. Lounge Boutique provides an unhurried setting for an afternoon tea service. Tables are set generously apart across the floor, making it a calm retreat where guests linger over seasonally themed tea sets and desserts.

Delicate Confections of Fruit and Chocolate

The sweet offerings include carefully composed plates such as bouquet-style crêpes wrapped around custard and cherry compote, along with rich chocolate tarts accented by plump cherries. Traditional scones arrive with clotted cream and fruit preserves, while the option of airy soufflé pancakes layered with fruit and mousse adds another appealing choice to the table.

Savory Bites and Considered Tea Pairings

A thoughtful savory selection balances the sweetness, featuring substantial hors d'œuvres such as quiche paired with prosciutto, earthy burdock potage, and classic pâté de campagne. For drinks, guests can choose from an extensive tea cellar, including the hotel's proprietary Oriental Darjeeling Elegance—which layers jasmine blossoms and fruit notes over Darjeeling—alongside sand-roasted hojicha and single-origin sencha.

The à la carte menu also features satisfying savory options like steak sandwiches and classic French fries, paired easily with a glass of champagne from brunch through evening. Given the attentive table service and relaxed atmosphere suited to conversation, reserving ahead is recommended for special gatherings and celebrations.
