McNulty’s Tea and Coffee Co. (www.mcnultys.com)
Manhattan (Greenwich Village)
In operation since 1895, McNulty is a great spot to experience the rich history of tea in the U.S. Far from the glossy, modern tea merchants that are making a splash in the city, McNulty’s captures a moment in time that cannot be replicated.
At McNulty’s you will be immersed in the rich scent of tea as you appreciate the tea chests and scales that date back to the shop’s earliest days.
Customers will find flavored and unflavored loose leaf teas and well-known branded teas like Grace Rare Teas, Taylors of Harrogate, and Kusmi.
Open 7 days a week. 109 Christopher St. (212) 242-5351.
This long-awaited revised edition includes: painstakingly detailed, up-to-the-minute coverage of all five boroughs (including expanded coverage of Brooklyn and Queens), an all-new section on the Hamptons, Ed's best-of-the-best restaurant picks, an incredibly complete directory of New York's ethnic markets (you won't know how you lived without it), and more.
Here are some of the joys that keep me in Greenwich Village. (All telephone numbers are in the 212 area code.)
