Where to Wednesday: Easter in New York City

If you’ll be in New York City for Easter this year, we suggest making Langham Place part of your holiday. There are so many ways to create a festive, memorable Easter for your family in the city: the parade down 5th Ave, Central Park and beautiful services at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. If you’re looking for somewhere special to eat, Langham Place has a lot to offer families this Easter.

Their chef, Chef David Vandenabeele has created a special Easter Afternoon Tea that will be served throughout the weekend. You can attend on Saturday during regular Afternoon Tea service, starting at 2 pm; and on Sunday as part of their regular Family Brunch. Their family brunch, “Tunes with Tina”, is a fun kids’ cabaret with live music performed by Tina de Varon.

Chef Vandenabeele is a veteran of The Langham, London, which is the hotel that first began serving an Afternoon Tea meal service in 186. So he is well-versed in the tea-time tradition!

The Easter Afternoon Tea menu features three delicious courses:

Savory: Free Range Egg Rolls with Micro Herbs; Warm Scallop Quiche; and Asparagus and French Ham

Sweets: Carrot Cup Cake, Strawberry Cheesecake Filled Strawberries and Easter Profiterole

Hot: Nutmeg and Cinnamon scones, served with clotted cream and house-made jam.

Tea pairings are hand selected by the team at In Pursuit of Tea.

There’s even a special Kids’ Easter Afternoon Tea Menu for the little ones! The kids’ menu includes the same three courses but with different dishes.

Savory: Frosted Flake Crusted PB&J Sandwich, Devilled Egg Chicks and Cheese & Toast

Sweet: Easter Egg Cup Cakes, Chocolate Bunnies and Vanilla Ice Cream Puffs

Hot: Scones with homemade jam and clotted cream.

This sounds like the perfect addition to a family holiday in New York City. There will certainly be special Easter memories made at Langham Place this Easter!
