First, there is nothing that can compete with the view across Central Park. No matter how long one has lived in this town, one never tires of gazing out across acres of greens and commerce, industry and art.
The Lobby Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental features these fantastic views and a nicely designed (if not exquisitely priced) menu of lounge snack foods. But rather than pop in after work for wine and cheese, it is much more fun to pop in during the day for Afternoon Tea. First, there is a wide selection of teas, but if you decide on tea for two, go with a robust black tea and enjoy the savory treats & buttery sweets that follow. Gaze out the window and enjoy your freshly brewed tea, a canapé, a crumpet and your own personal dreamy vision of the Empire City. You can most definitely feel Empire from here.
Ignore the loud and brash hotel guests who live in Suburbia rather than Urbia, and who therefore think everyone in town wants to know that they are “traveling on business”. Ignore them, sip your tea, speak in an indoor voice to your companion and revel in the fact that there is such a place to enjoy.
