Tea for Tuesday: three with Allison. 3 February 2009 12:59 pm
Posted by Tracy in : friends,fun,nyc,pictures,restaurants,reviews,tea , View CommentsSo. Long ago, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and Allison lived at the House of Infinite Monkeys in Eugene (and some time before then, too), we used to go out to tea at a little place called Savouré in Eugene. For a while it was a near-weekly ritual, but then the prices went up and we cut back to twice, and eventually once a month. (Later, Savouré moved to a new location, with only a retail area, so we couldn’t go out to tea there any more — very sad.) But. In its glory days (yes, I think Bruce Springsteen won the Superbowl, and you’d better not have a problem with that), full tea at Savouré involved one of those fabulous three-tiered presentations of sweets (petit fours, among others), savories (tiny sandwiches, natch), and in between, scones with clotted cream and jam. Similar setups were available at two of the tea places we visited last week, and now I sort of wish I’d tried them, which is pretty high praise for a tea place. Anyway. Here’s quick reviews of where we went, before I forget. (more…)
