Location: 24 E 39th St.Time: 12:30pm
People: FA, AP and myself
List:
-Two British spots inside the William Hotel in Murray Hill: The Peacock, a refined restaurant with the 19th century English gentleman's club decor, and The Shakepeare, the 16th century style rustic pub in the basement.
-At the more grown-up spot, The Peacock, I found myself to be the only woman among stylish business men during this bustling business lunch hour . But I did not feel uncomfortable at all due to their exceptional service.
-From warm scotch eggs to rabbit pies, classic British fare can be found here.
-The best part is the puddings ($11) and tea ($7 for pot) served in a beautiful tea set: Sticky toffee with date with rum sauce is excellent. Aromatic tea is by Bellocq in Greenpoint.

I want to eat all of this and steal the tea set
YES! The best tea set ever. Their library bar is stunning as well.
This place has been on my list for afternoon tea. Guess I have to go there ASAP!
Bellocq tea is wonderful! Would love your thought on it xo
