timoni west: The chai! So good.
Mike Singleton: Get the rose chai if they have it. If you're with others note that they make them one at a time, roughly 5 minutes per drink. Take a walk around the block, it's a beautiful neighborhood.
Peter Wu: One of the most gorgeous stores in Soho. Don't miss the tea bar! Try the Vanilla Rose Chai!
Leslie T: Be adventurous. Pick up a different tea every time. They have a great selection of classic teas and blends.
Tea For Me Please: Although not a huge space, it felt light and airy with lots of glass fixtures. The staff was extremely friendly, offering me a cup of tea as I walked in. I found them knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Read more.
Amy Robertson: These flavored teas are more lightly flavored than other tea shops. Also a friendly, not stuffy, atmosphere

Indian Restaurant · SoHo · 86 tips and reviews
Sabina B.: Hole in the wall where all the cabbies go so you know it's authentic. Best samosa in the city, and the chai and chicken sandwich are tasty too.
Saad Khan: The chai here is hands down the best I've had in NYC. Chai is always brewed fresh and never stored in a thermos so you get a piping hot cup of chai every time. Flavored with a hint of Cardamom.
Paul Tepper: The chai is really good and the samosa w/chickpeas is a great deal - get full on $3, or 2 samosas if youre real hungry. Good veg options. I don't do rice & veg because they usually give too much rice.

Bon: Great selection of loose leaf teas and even better teapots and teacups
Wilson Zhou: Newly opened place for tea and tea kit, the pricing is beyond reasonable but I love the modern vibe and concept.
Jen L. 👓: Aussie tea purveyor opens its first NY shop! Love their Brisbane breakfast & Jasmine. Do read ingredients label, though, as some teas have both natural & artificial flavoring.
Michele Cipriani: one of the best dosas I've ever had. classic or turkey are my favorites but everything is good here. BTW great chai!
Spencer Fry: I prefer the sandwiches to the dosas. The chai is also great.
Jessey White-Cinis: The chai is the best I've found in NYC (... and to prove it, try walking up the block to Lahore and taste-testing). Also the breakfast dosa with cilantro chutney is hard to beat.

Jessica Colomer: Get the Passion Fruit Bubble Tea. its AMAZING!!!!
Pablo Hernandez: Hot Red bean bubble tea was pretty damn good. I could do without the mix of mushy red beans and bubbles. Only bubbles for me! Delicious
Drew Taber: Closest thing to an actual Chinese/Taiwanese tea shop I have found in NYC and I will overlook the shortcomings. Kumquat green tea is great, just wish they had icecream red tea!

Nicole Formica: The iced chai latte is one of the best I have had in the city. Just the right amount of spice!
Taylor: Great coffee, solid chai. The PB&J on baguette (on the counter) is a perfect little snack. Great bench inside and outside to watch Soho saunter and stagger by. My fav.
Bonnie Eisenman: Wifi password is on the wooden board. Wifi is decent, coffee is typical, better than average tea selection for this kind of place. Love the genmaicha tea.

Men's Store · SoHo · 22 tips and reviews
dawn.in.newyork: Very nice selection of men's clothing. Feels like condensed, cozy version of Barneys.
How To Make It In America: Essentially, it's the perfect store for the guy who resolves to dress better and doesn't paying more than Gap prices.
D&A Travel: Anders: [Shopping] Great collection of "spiffed up workwear" from well-selected brands makes it easy to find treasures. New shops added on 106 Greenwich Ave (West Village) and 328 E11 (East Village).
