Adna: Their hot bubble black tea was warm and delicious on a cold day.
Honghui Yu: My favorite is the honeydew milk tea with boba. Most of their drinks are on the overly sweet side so I recommend getting your drink with at most 50% sugar.
Jacob Cass: A bizarre mix of menu items, but at least it's not another Thai restaurant. The bubble tea was yum and very well shaken due to their fancy shaker machine which was cool to watch.
Adil Ibrahim: If you just dined at Asiate, they'll seat you faster! Phenomenal views of the city - ask for the big (best) table in the SE corner of the lounge (seats 8) - the NE most corner has the best seat for 2.
Lindsay: Not staying at the hotel? If they tell you there's a wait, just say that you finished dining at Asiate. You'll get a table in a snap. Otherwise, prepare to wait with the masses.
Candace Chang: Great view of Columbus Circle, perfect for afternoon tea on a Sunday. Really impressed with the ginger scones and the Oolong tea pairing. Love the spaciousness and high windows

Ale: Pricey, but worth the visit, food is amazing -Crab Cake (Appetizer) -Filet Mignon (Medium) or New York Strip (Medium) (Main Course) - Truffled Mashed Potatoes (Side) - 7 Layer Coconut Cake (Dessert)
The Wall Street Journal: The filet, cooked medium rare, and paired with soup and cheesecake for dessert, makes a terrific trio. Read more.

Nicole Serratore: Small space but diverse selection of teas. Turkish blend is a nice strong black tea on offer
Craig A: Best coffee in the neighborhood, and the owners & staff are super nice. Who needs Starbucks??
Brian Michael: "Kahve" is how I imagine Californians pronounce, "coffee"
