Moving on from yesterday's holiday tease...holiday teas. Susan Blumberg-Kason, author of All the Tea in Chicago, now in a revised second edition, is our guest blogger for the 6th Day of Xmas season suggestions:
The cold and snow have arrived and it’s still not technically winter. No fear. To keep warm, try one of these festive locales for British afternoon tea. Enjoy scones, finger sandwiches, pastries, and a choice of a dozen black, green, and herbal teas. The holiday season is a popular time for afternoon tea, so be sure to call in advance to make reservations. Here are my top picks:
The Peninsula (108 East Superior, Chicago, 312-337-2888)
The Four Seasons (120 East Delaware, Chicago, 312-280-8800)
The Drake (140 East Walton, Chicago, 312-787-2200)
If you’re looking for something a bit more casual, these Julius Meinl cafes offer a wide range of teas along with delicious pastries:
3601 North Southport (Chicago, 773-868-1857)
4363 North Lincoln (Chicago, 773-868-1876)
1414 West Irving Park (Chicago, 773-883-1864)
