Drink, Do | $$$$$
A petite tea shop in the West Village that offers up to 30 types of oolong (handpicked by owner Elena Liao), from everyday varieties to reserve and vintage leaves. Clients can order anything from a to-go cup to bottled cold brew—but the bespoke experience, a two-hour tasting that showcases the differences in five tea flavor profiles, is ideal for the inexperienced tea drinker. The charming store also serves a smattering of snacks to accompany the delicate drinks, from tortilla with potatoes and egg to its signature spicy linzers (a nod to the classic pineapple cakes ubiquitous in Taiwan, the vanilla bean shortbread pastries are filled with pineapple-rosemary jam and yuzu kosho paste and sprinkled with sea salt and lime zest).
