A fantastic British-style tea shop located in the West Village of Manhattan. The portions are generous and there are many delicious teas to sample.

“great”

It's a little cramped, but that doesn't matter. A great place for tea.

“The best hangover cure.”

Crumpets and tea, bangers and mash, puddings, and tasty finger sandwiches? That sounds like a perfect hangover remedy. Stay out late, sleep in, then head to Tea & Sympathy for a little snack to beat your hangover.
