The Drake
Chicago
The tea parlor in this
100-year-old hotel feels
like a palace ballroom, and
fittingly, Princess Diana,
Queen Elizabeth and the
Empress of Japan have
all visited. The menu is a
traditional mix of finger
sandwiches and petits fours.

one-of-a-kind: It holds

The tea parlor here is classic in every way:
The tables are set with fine Wedgwood china, the kitchen
sends out finger sandwiches and scones,
and a live harpist or pianist sets the mood.

Phoenix
You won’t find the usual English breakfast or Earl Grey
here—every antique teapot is filled with a cocktail made
from tea-infused liquor and syrups. The Lotus Spritz
goes down easy, so eat plenty of Tater Tots with caviar
and truffle deviled eggs! artizenaz.comMAY 2020 ●FOOD NETWORK MAGAZINE 115
