Before Alice’s Tea Cup there was Tea and Sympathy, the impossibly British and cozy cavern down in Greenwich Village. You’ll feel like singing “twinkle twinkle little bat” after tasting one of their scones and you’ll probably leave with something Anglo-themed from the adjoining shoppe. Cheers.

Because even the deepest undercover Brit agent would find time in his day for tea. Just imagine yourself as a character from a John Le Carre book.
