counter for customers to sample before they make up their mind. The Scene: The pyramid of 26 huge black tea jars on shelves behind the bar dictates that some caffeine-hating, yoga-loving vegans will make Tea Lounge their second home, but most of the evening crowd is a pleasant breed of Park Slope urban intellectuals that enjoy a good wine and beer selection accompanies by complementary nuts. Tip Sheet: In the neighborhood: If you want to remain in the mellower vibe, but your stomach is growling for some serious chow, head over to the nearby Blah Blah Lounge. Tea Paraphernalia: you can buy incense, candles, soaps and lipstick – all made from tea, as well as NiNi Universal hand-painted tea pots ($20). Strictly for players: some tables are full size chess and backgammon boards and the staff will provide you with giant pieces to play with. Local sweet tooth: Tea Lounge gets its baked goods from the best of the neighborhood, offering cakes from Tow Little Red Hands and croissants from the French bakery Chez Isabella. |
