DECAFFEINATED: SERVING THE BEST
By MIMI SHERATON
Published: April 3, 1982
The increasing demand for decaffeinated coffee is one of the more noticeable changes in eating habits. Despite that growing demand, envelopes of instant Sanka are often presented with hot water at the end of the meal, even in some of our toniest and otherwise impeccable restaurants.

Best of New York: Tea Shop: 2012
McNulty's on Christopher St. takes the honors
Walking into McNulty’s on Christopher St. is like taking a trip back in time. The scales that owner David Wong uses to measure out tea leaves and coffee beans are from the early 1900s.
Hidden Treasure
"All you have to do is remember your name," says David Wong, the seventh owner of the shop, which has been in business since 1895. Wong has been behind the counter at the homey Christopher St. outpost for the last 22 years.

Morning or Afternoon, There’s a Kettle Brewing
WEEKEND IN NEW YORK | MANHATTAN TEAHOUSES
You don’t have to actually drink your tea on the spot, of course; there are plenty of shops to buy loose tea, and they range from elegant (like Ito En on Madison Avenue at 69th Street) to tiny and old fashioned (like McNulty’s in Greenwich Village).
McNulty's serves up a by-gone era
In 1980, David Wong and his dad, Wing, purchased McNulty’s from David’s brother’s employers. They continued to run the business from its original storefront location while adding a very strong mail order division. Still very much a family business, it is particularly satisfying to the Wongs to recognize secondand third-generation customers buying their teas and coffee at McNulty’s from as far back as the 1920’s and 1930’s.
2011 Village Awardee
For over 115 years, McNulty’s has been the Village’s source for quality teas and coffees from around the world. We are honored to be giving this longstanding neighborhood staple a Village Award at our Annual Meeting on Monday, June 13th.
Looking for an interesting tea recipe?
McNulty’s Tea & Coffee Co. at 109 Christopher Street sells extra-smoky lapsang souchong that works perfectly for this, and it’s not expensive.
