High Tea at the Ritz-Carlton
If our cold wet summer reminds you of spring in England, complement the day with high tea.
The Ritz-Carlton Central Park offers some of the best views of the park this rainy season – those through a picture window. And in keeping with the weather, The Ritz is offering the perfect complement for cold, wet weather – high tea.

Three hours and 160 Miles from New York is the southernmost tip of New Jersey and it’s worth a visit.
The beaches are pristine, the waves are lapping, and porpoises are at play in the waves, up and down the shoreline.
Enjoy.
