Franchia Edit

The food is tasty and the tea selection is wonderful. I had a iced ginger tea. It was refreshing and full of zing. I also had the green oolong. It was delicious. It comes with the leaves and a thermos of hot water. I only wish I had brought some tupperware with me since the leaves were good for a few more steeps.

The service was wonderfully discreet. I prefer to be left alone while I dine.

Franchia (Park Ave. NYC) is the best tea shop in the U.S. for premium green tea from Korea. They also own Hangawi, an upscale vegetarian place nearby with absolutely beautiful interior and wonderful Korean cuisine. Very relaxing, peaceful escape from the busy streets of NYC.
