Angelica Tea Room

Though there is a selection of eight loose-leaf teas on the menu (everything from Irish breakfast to Egyptian chamomile to sencha), the name of this place is really less a reference to the drinks than the decor: dainty and dazzlingly colorful, it really does look like an old-school European tea room. At the bar are poured a range of upscale, classic-inspired yet creative specialty cocktails in which imported whiskeys and other spirits predominate, as well as some really swanky wines. There's also a small food menu — think gourmet bar appetizers like ibérico chorizo and tuna belly, as well as (of course) a half-dozen tea sandwiches to choose from.
