Rainy Day

It’s raining cats and dogs! Will April showers bring May flowers? For this week at least, it’s time to cover up. Classic kiddie raingear from Hatley is always a safe bet.

Oolong or Darjeeling, this is a city that takes its tea seriously (well, maybe not as seriously as London).

Discover all the hidden haunts to snack on scones and spicy blends in New York’s 50 Best Places to Take Tea. Author Bo Niles gives the rundown on teahouses in cafes, department stores and museums, whether lavish (Madeline kiddie tea parties at Bemelmans) or low-key (Podunk’s tea and tarts).

Sip accordingly.
