Tea and chandeliers shop

[Nero]

It's opening tomorrow. I walked past, having gone to Jacks and found it shut. I asked if I could have a quick snoop around, and a nice young woman let me in. It's great - spacious, light, with a lot of room in the back. They'll be doing tea, cakes, sandwiches and selling teapots, cakestands, cups, saucers, tea leaves, infusions. Nero

They were clenaing the windows when I went past - and I agree it looks highy promising!

[Crystal Tips]

Jacks shut - there's a surprise - I'll be checking out Tea and Chandeliers in the forseeable........

Been looking forward to this one opening. It's on my route as I walk down to the heart of The Strip. Certainly pop in in the next couple of weeks.

As I chatted to the nice young woman, we both concluded that that section of LL was a bit 'nicer', y'know, quieter and with more of a feel of space. It's Midtown, if you like, to fit in with Upper East Side. Nero

oooh i have to say i have been waiting for this shop to open for a while... the prospect of a cup of tea and cake does it for me everytime >:D

[AllyCat]

Ooh - me too! Why should coffee drinkers get all the fun!

[MadWorld74]

so they sell no coffee at all? coffee shops sell tea as well.....I thought they might be able to do me a sneaky expresso...

[david_carnell]

Where is this place? Sounds very pleasant. Got to agree with you though MW74 (not something we've been doing much of on another thread! :))), sometimes you just gotta have a good espresso. Maybe we'll have to make do.

It's close to Karavan, opposite Mrs Robinson and William Rose - The Midtown Strip

[david_carnell]

Ah yes, I know where you mean. That must be almost next door to Jerk Rock as well. What will that be I wonder?

[MadWorld74]

A homeopaths?

[david_carnell]

>:D< Very good MW74.

Perhaps a Secular bookshop might be useful?

[MadWorld74]

a bookshop for atheists and agnostics...

[david_carnell]

Yes...and skeptics[sic].

[MadWorld74]

i keep saying it but a bloody music shop for pete's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we need one.

[bald marauder]

Yay! Music and books combined please...

[david_carnell]

Oh yes...I remember talking to you about this before MW74 and we agreed, if only for Mr MW74's sake, then a music shop would be a must. Perhaps the owners of Rough Trade should be emailed forthwith.

On an aside I seem to remember you saying Mr MW74 is a big fan of Springsteen. The London Paper reports he's playing the 02 Dome around Xmas time. I'm waiting for official confirmation.

[citizenED]

A mini Borders...

Music, books coffe & tea & cakes & Films (DVDs).

[capt_birdseye]

Music shops no longer open, they close.

[Gerrard]

MW74 - isnt the music shop near the station any good? And I think there is one one on Landalls Road...

Great position for a tea shop, meat, fish, tea and cake all within easy reach, fantastic!

[MadWorld74]

HMV have bought out Fopp apparantly and the store in Covent Garden is still going to be kept open.

[david_carnell]

I think the music shops you refer to Gerrard are ones that sell sheet music and instruments. Very nice but what I had in mind was vintage vinyl and CDs.

Something like Rough Trade, Jumbo Records or Beanos! Maybe with some books thrown in for the intelligensia.

[MadWorld74]

Resident Records in Brighton are the cheese
