Cherry Blossom Afternoon Tea

Embrace the beauty of spring with our Cherry Blossom Afternoon Tea, perfectly timed to the fleeting bloom of the cherry blossoms in our Central Park backyard. As soft pink petals transform the park’s iconic landscapes into a seasonal spectacle, return from a blossom-lined stroll to indulge in a tea experience inspired by the same sense of renewal and elegance. Delicate pastries, floral notes, and artful savory bites come together in a refined celebration of the season—an invitation to savor spring at its most enchanting, both within the park and under The Palm Court’s stain glass dome.

Served Daily from 11a.m. – 4p.m. in The Palm Court
