Experience timeless elegance with afternoon tea at The Russian Tea Room

As New York’s cultural season ramps up with Broadway premieres and ballet performances, one of the city’s most enduring rituals invites locals and visitors alike to savor a moment of elegance: Afternoon Tea at the iconic Russian Tea Room (150 W 57th St, New York, NY 10019).

Founded in 1926 by members of the Russian Imperial Ballet, The Russian Tea Room has long been a cultural landmark in Manhattan. Its jewel-toned dining room, adorned with original works by Picasso and Kandinsky, provides the perfect setting for a quintessentially New York experience. Guests can enjoy rare loose-leaf teas, Champagne, and caviar alongside meticulously prepared finger sandwiches, housemade pastries, and petits fours.

The Tea Room offers a variety of afternoon tea experiences to suit every preference:

Traditional Tea: Features a classic assortment of savory tea sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, and an array of petits fours.
Royal Tea: Elevates the traditional service with a glass of Champagne and premium caviar.
Vegetarian Tea: Seasonal vegetarian sandwiches, pastries, and scones, carefully crafted without compromising on variety.
Gluten-Free Tea: Thoughtful adaptations of the classic tea service, including gluten-free baked goods and finger sandwiches.
Children’s Tea: Designed for younger guests, offering kid-friendly tea sandwiches, sweet treats, and hot chocolate or caffeine-free tea.

Afternoon Tea at The Russian Tea Room is more than a meal; it’s a celebration of artistry, tradition, and refined hospitality—a must-visit for anyone looking to embrace New York’s rich cultural heritage this season.

Reservations are recommended to secure a table in this historic Manhattan institution.
