Last week, we joined our friends at Lillet to kick-off the Spring season. Although the weather in New York City might not be so Spring-like, Lillet cocktails kept us feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside. The kick-off celebration was held at City Vineyard. The restaurant provided the perfect backdrop for such an occasion, thanks to the waterfront views and Summery decor. To get everyone into the Spring spirit, Lillet invited guests to partake in the DIY Lillet Spritz Garnish Bar, featuring various garnishes to add to the Lillet Blanc or Lillet Rosé. The Lillet Spritz is a great sipping beverage with a light and very refreshing taste.

In 2015, Luv Tea started as a wholesaler of tournament-grade and award-winning teas from A-Li-Shan in Taiwan. Soon after, Tea Master Jaesy Wang opened the Luv Tea showroom and brought a little slice of zen to the West Village. Luv Tea is a quaint tea emporium that serves seasonal blends of high-grade teas. The specialty of the house is exclusive Taiwanese tea, from their own farms, grown harvested and roasted by local artisans. Since its opening, the cozy tea shop has amassed a loyal group of regulars, who often stop by to enjoy a relaxed unhurried beverage.
