Where are we..?
What's your first guess?
Me too. Just like Paris no?
But no, it's New York City!
We're at Bosie...
Bosie Tea Parlor on 10 Morton Street in the Village.
Kathy YL Chan of A Passion for Food told me about it.
I doubted real French pastry could be found in NYC but I have been proved wrong again. Voila! L'eclair de creme with Chamomile tea filling.
Kathy brought along these exquisite Japanese sugars, Chambre de Sucre fit for a king. They have been supplying the Emperor for centuries and perfect for my mint tea and Kathy's Matcha Latte...
Et oui, Bosie has a full array of fresh macarons...
A darling shop just the right size for a friendly cuppa - very French in size and ambience - New York needs more tea salons like this.
At least 80 kinds of tea brewed to order...
How does one attack such a pretty eclair?
En garde! Touche!
Bonjour Bosie Tea Parlor!
Does this mean you'll be selling your suitcases on Ebay??? Somewhere in Paris a Frenchman is shouting, "Sacre blue!"
ReplyDeleteThose sugars are just lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat is their secret? A french oven in the kitchen? La Vie en Rose on the cd player?

Julie,
ReplyDeleteThe pastry chef studied in Paris at P Herme and Laduree I think :)
Pas mal non?
Super merci Carol!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post,
and I love how you incorporated the sugars.
It made my day!
Kathy :)
To your opening questions "Where are we?" "What's your first guess?" I was able to confidently shout out "Idaho!". Due to reading without glasses, I imagined you at a family wedding out West. Glad that this delectable-looking pastry shop is closer (to some!) than Boise.
ReplyDeleteShelly-
ReplyDeleteI did kind of give it away in the title didn't I..
Bosie - Boise ID
Maybe they will branch out?
Hahaaa--yup--that's just about how I'd probably attack that thing. Looks good!
ReplyDeleteHI Carol!
ReplyDeleteI will pass this along.... Loved attacking the Eclair!!!!!Maryanne xo
I am the demolition crew when it comes to pastry Beadboard!!!
ReplyDeleteCarolg
Tea! I love it so much!
ReplyDeleteThe Wanderfull Traveler
It looks like a great place - and the pastries look perfect!
ReplyDeleteWith all of those tea canisters, I hope that you can get a cup of coffee there!
(Nice job on the eclair :)
another reason to head to the village...I did read about this place and it is in my notebook to find...now I really have to find it!!
ReplyDeleteOh Carol, this place looks absolutely charming.
ReplyDeleteI have got to find time to get over there. Many thanks for the tip.

Bosie Tea Parlor was the perfect setting for a grand Franco. The awesome thing about their afternoon tea service is the balance between sweet and savory.
ReplyDeleteI would have guessed you were in heaven but it was NYC.
ReplyDeleteLooks so delish, I would have to sample one of each.
You are such a tease, Carol! :-)
ReplyDeleteA knife to cut pastry? Big no, please!
That's what pastry forks were invented for, with the left tine wider, giving you an edge with which to cut off a tiny piece of pastry, daintily. ;-)
Looks like your eclair is spreading its wings and taking off! (That's exactly how I would have tackled it, too.)
ReplyDeleteYummmmm.
I guess the other guests would have been frightened if you yanked the electric knife out of your handbag. :)
ReplyDeleteOn my next day off I know where I'll be :)
ReplyDeleteAhh the French patisseries are just that little bit more sophisticated. They wouldn't ice an éclair in green (would they?) or fill one so full of things that you couldn't pick it up and bite into it. But 80 different teas? Now there's sophistication..à l'anglais.....
ReplyDeleteYou are quite mistaken Gwendoline,
ReplyDeleteRegarding iced eclairs.
Have you been to Fauchon or Sadaharu Aoki?
Green green green!
Bosie Tea Parlor is an oasis for those of us who aren't up for the bar scene for one reason or another - I love their lunches too.
ReplyDeleteLooks Perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling!
