The month of December brings a holiday twist to L’Espalier’s weekend fantasy tea parties. There’s nothing more refined and lovely than a civilized afternoon spent sipping tea and supping on delicate little finger foods—and the fun increases ten-fold when the weather outside is nippy. At L’Espalier, you’re guaranteed a delightful experience with delicious food to boot. Every Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 2:45pm you can revel in chef Frank McClelland‘s seasonal-inspired tea services filled with canapés, tea sandwiches, petit fours, pastries and of course, tea from tea sommelier Cynthia Gold. An exclusive Tea Nog makes an appearance (with or without Cognac), and guests will be treated to a holiday gift. Cup and saucer reservations can be made for $55 per adult and $35 per child by calling 617.262.3023.
