Afternoon Tea in Manhattan Under a Stained Glass Dome
Book afternoon tea in Manhattan under the Palm Court's stained glass dome, then browse the Eloise boutique and its post box.
🫖 Tea at the Palm Court
Afternoon tea in Manhattan takes a grand turn at The Plaza, where the Palm Court serves tea beneath a stained glass dome. The hotel has stood on Fifth Avenue from 1907 onward, and its public spaces at number 768 invite wandering much like a museum, right at the edge of Central Park South.
The Palm Court pours tea daily from 11 AM to 4 PM, while dining and bar service runs from half past eight in the morning to midnight. Cancel afternoon tea reservations at least 72 hours ahead to avoid a 75 dollar per person fee, and expect upscale pricing, with club sandwiches from 36 to 38 dollars and an 18 percent service charge included.
Leave time for the themed shops. The Eloise boutique has a post box where fans write to the literary character, and a Home Alone shop adds another detour. Fine dining at The Champagne Bar and wellness facilities round out a longer afternoon.
