I'm not British... but I secretly wish I were. If you love "Love Actually," Katie Price, strong cider and/or those wonderful accents, here you go.

My favorite place to pick up OK! UK, Heat, Now, Tatler, etc.

Myers of Keswick

634 Hudson Street, New York, NY 10014

A little British grocery store for all your needs. They carry such wonderful items as Strongbow, Jammie Dodgers, scone mix… and they sell amazing fresh products as well. Definitely try a pork pie!

Slaughtered Lamb Pub

182 W 4th St, New York, NY 10014

Sometimes, you just want to go and have a drink at a slightly dark, slightly dodgy pub. (I mean this in the best way!) Slaughtered Lamb is right off the W4th Street stop – a great place to go and chill for a few hours.

In this unassuming salon in Gramercy, a great stylist named Mila can give you a gorgeous Pob (that’s “Posh bob”) in minutes. Absolutely phenomenal and wallet-friendly, to boot!

Tea & Sympathy Inc

108 Greenwich Avenue, New York, NY 10011

My favorite place to go and sit with a book and a tea. The service can be a bit rude, but hey, this is New York, after all.

Whole Foods Market

95 E Houston Street 2, New York, NY 10002

Their beer room is absolutely amazing – and you can pick up a chilled four-pack of Strongbow for $8!

A great chip shop in the West Village. Service is a little spotty and there’s not much room to sit, and they’re a little overpriced. However, you can’t beat the authenticity and deliciousness of their fish and chips doused with a good helping of malt vinegar.

Why in the world would I want to be British?!?!? Nice work.

Jolly pip guide and whatnot! Chips are the best potato product. I hate that so many places in California are moving towards wedge cut fries, when really thick cut deliciousness is the way to go. And people say that British food is abhorrent.

Awesome guide – your Whole Foods has a beer section!? Stupid Massachusetts and their antiquated liquor laws.
