Janam Tea (at Garfunkel’s)

Situated above patty shop The Burgary in the Lower East Side, this hidden tea room leads a double life as a speakeasy (Garfunkel's) at night. During daylight, take a seat on one of the plump purple velvet couches or tufted armchairs for full tea service that highlights single-estate teas from India (including a range of black, oolong, green, and white varieties) alongside mushroom-scallion finger sandwiches, a smoked salmon spread, and sweets like brown butter cookies and a daily selection of house-made cupcakes.
