More NY: Palm Court reservations, High Line blog
Reservations open next week for Palm Court (Sun)
The china is set, the little jam pots in place, and the silver tea pots shined to a bright polish: Afternoon tea at the Plaza Hotel's Palm Court is about to return as one of New York's most beloved institutions, and will not only be as good as before, but better, a hotel staffer assured me. The Fairmont chain of hotels, which manages the Plaza, has even flown in a tea expert from its location in Victoria, British Columbia, world-famous for its tea service, to ensure quality. Reservations can be made starting next week at 212-546-5300.
