Tea and Sympathy


As I continue on the Anglophile topic, our journey takes us right next door to A Salt and Battery, to Tea and Sympathy. This wonderful little British restaurant & store located at 110 Greenwich in Greenwich Village is the right place for anyone who is looking to purchase almost anything British in nature (especially food or beverage related). The restaurant is complete with all the English favorites, such as bangers and mash, welsh rarebit, roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, and much more. The food, for those of us that love
British fare, is fantastic, and makes you think you are sitting in a restaurant in the UK. Even if you cannot go tot he restaurant and have an upcoming office party, or event, Tea and Sympathy does cater as well. Its been written up in the US with rave reviews in the New York Times, Conde Nast Traveller & the New Yorker, and even has great press across the pond in British Elle, The Sunday Mirror, the Independent.

After your meal, visit the attached store, where you can buy English Teapots, a wide range of teas (like Typhoo & PG Tips), and a wide range of groceries, like clotted cream, varied beans and british foodstuffs, and a wide range of candies (like fruit gums, wine gums, and Cadbury chocolates (from the UK not US).

Whether you want to stop in and eat or shop, or take advantage of the free local deliveries that are available between the West Side Highway and 5th Avenue, and from Canal St to 33rd Street, try Tea and Sympathy to fill your British Cravings.

A Salt and Battery

Anglophiles take notice, whether you are a Brit in the US, or just love England, this restaurant is for you, and it will make you think you are London.

A Salt and Battery is a fish and chip shop in Greenwich Village in NYC (located on 112 Greenwich Ave, between 12th & 13th St). When you walk into this little restaurant - the first thing you notice is the selection that you have. On top of the other menu items - they offer 6 different types of fish to choose from:

Halibut / Tilapia
Haddock
Sole
Code
Whiting
Pollock

The fish is fantastic - fresh and tasty....and all of their items are fried in veggie oil.

They also offer traditional british sides, like mushy peas, pickled onions, potato dabs, and even offer british drinks, like Irn-Bru, Tango, Tizer, and Lucozade.

So come in, enjoy Capital Radio on Sirius playing in the background, and enjoy the best fish and chips in NYC.
