I've been wanting to go to Radiance Tea House for a while. I see it whenever I go to Carnegie Hall, but haven't had a chance to stop in... yet. Great idea. I'd love to go.

I would love to, though I am working on the 15th and can't make that date. I am off the 16th and 17th.

I love this idea. Hopefully it can accomodate a reasonable number of people. These Meetups seem to fill up too fast and most of us do not have a chance to attend any these days.

Yes, Radiance is spacious we can have 15 - 17 tea goers easily and still talk to one another:) - Feb 16th sounds good for everyone too - let's do it if Lefty the organizer says it's AOK?

I'll scope out the venue to make sure it can accommodate 15 people, and that they are willing to have a large group. My concern is that 5 PM may be too early for most. If everything works out, I'll make Aimee the Host :)

Oh dear.... just checked the menu online and it's a bit too pricey for me. (Afternoon tea $32.95 - $38.95)

Will have to decline this one -- hope to see you at another NYC Tea Tour event.

Jill, You will not be obligated to one of those packages. I'm sure we can all order A La Carte.

Hi, Yes, you can order anything you wish not just the tea package, which I have never tried nor seen before. The tea is amazing:) and the moshi's are great too!

This sounds great but I'm afraid I can't make it - I have an out-of-town guest that week.

I recently tripped over Radiance in my own neighborhood and have been meaning to go. I hope we can schedule a second date for this outing, because I can't make it this time. Look forward to next time!

How are waitlisted people moved into available spots when they arise?

Rhoda Barton
The 5 o'clock time fit my schedule, but I'm afraid I can't make the 6 o"clock, Rhoda Barton

Hey Lefty, you need to tell me beforehand when you make a time changes (twice?! I'm hosting & making reservations for this aren't I .

I made other plans but I may be able to stop by for a short while. Every time I tried to update I got removed so I gave up. This new MU system stinks.

Could we have two groups. We have 7 people waiting. I have been there its a nice place would love to join you all.

I really like the idea of making a second reservation especially since some can't make the time. I can make either time and would really like to go.

ATTENTION: This Wednesday's Tea Party at Radiance will be rescheduled for NEXT WEDNESDAY at 5:15 at Radiance Tea House, (because of a big private party there) with 14 members allowed to attend because we will all be on the nice table in the Library area! So it should be a lot of fun with all of us sitting together. There will be a pre-fix menu $20-25, but you can go a la carte as well. So please check your calendar, thank you for your patience : ) More info to RSVP coming....

Dana & Kerreu - If this is successful we will definitely have another event there soon : )

The food, tea and company was just perfect. Dan our waiter was fantastic giving us as much tea and food as we wanted and everything was first rate. I loved everything : )
Eugenia Van Bremen

Great meet-up, wonderful people. I had a great time talking with everyone. We also all shared our favorite tea places in the city - now I'm armed with new places to try! :)
Sarina

We all had a great time. The food and tea were terrific and everyone got along really well. It was a wonderful group of creative, intelligent ladies. Thank you Aimee.
