Lady Mendls
$$$$•Afternoon Tea•4.8(1,252)Our $117 prix fixe tea service is offered Tuesday through Sunday.
Lady Mendl's is an unconventionally chic tea salon housed within a Georgian brownstone in the Gramercy Park neighborhood of Manhattan. An opulent five-course tea is served in an eclectic and whimsical parlor by a doting staff. Patrons sip tea from hand culled vintage teacups as they nibble dainty finger sandwiches and house baked scones.
Please note that our entrance is only accessible via a staircase of 10 steps. We do not have an elevator.Strip House Speakeasy
$$$$•Steakhouse•4.7(460)Strip House Speakeasy is tucked away beside the original Strip House in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, occupying a space rich with Prohibition-era intrigue. Set against the glamorous backdrop of the Roaring Twenties, 11 East 12th Street was once one of the many illegal speakeasies that supplied New York City with libations and liberation. Its hidden connection to the room above at 13 East 12th Street was the secret to its success. When officers arrived with a search warrant in hand, they could only enter the physical address listed, ‘13 East’…not ‘11’.

- PPaoloNew York City •1 review5.0Dined on Oct 26, 2026This is a cozy bistrot-type restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Service is courteous and the price/quality ratio excellent. I had their signature seafood Tom Yum Hotpot, which is truly delicious, with a glass of good Loire Sauvignon, and a cocktail which was as good looking as good tasting. I will definitely go back for more!More infoSoothr East Village$$$$• Thai• East Village•4.7
