A Stylish Escape: Tea and Fashion at Prince Tea House, K-Town

There’s something magical about Sundays in the city—when time slows down just enough to savor the finer things in life. For me and my friend, Sundays have become a ritual: an elegant mix of indulgence, fashion, and catching up over steaming cups of tea at Prince Tea House in Koreatown (K-Town), NYC.

A Hidden Gem in K-Town

Tucked away in the heart of Manhattan’s bustling K-Town, Prince Tea House is a charming haven of Parisian elegance infused with Asian-inspired tea traditions. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported to a dreamlike space where delicate blue-and-white murals, vintage-style lighting, and plush seating create the perfect ambiance for a fashionable tea-time retreat.

The dainty porcelain teapots with floral embellishments, the meticulously plated desserts, and the rich, aromatic teas make this spot not just a place to eat, but a place to experience. Whether you’re looking for a cozy catch-up session or a chic afternoon tea date, Prince Tea House delivers on every front.

Dressing for Tea: Style Notes for a Chic Afternoon

One of my favorite aspects of our Sunday tea tradition is the effortless blend of dining and fashion. The setting at Prince Tea House makes it the perfect place to either dress up or dress down, depending on your mood. On this particular Sunday, I opted for a classic yet relaxed ensemble—a sleek black ruched top paired with high-waisted jeans and a statement belt, striking the balance between comfort and elegance.

The beauty of this spot is that it welcomes all styles—whether you arrive in a romantic flowy dress, embracing Parisian tea-time elegance, or in laid-back streetwear, channeling effortless New York cool. The lighting is perfect for snapping pictures, and let’s be real—no visit to this dreamy tea house is complete without a few Instagram-worthy shots.

Me and my friend poured steaming cups of mango herbal tea and indulged in delicate brown sugar crêpe cake. Of course, no Sunday tea date is complete without a little shopping adventure

Macy’s Herald Square: A Historic Shopping Destination

Just a few blocks from Prince Tea House K-Town, Macy’s Herald Square is not just any department store—it’s the oldest and largest Macy’s in the world, having opened its doors in 1902. Spanning an entire city block, this legendary shopping destination has been a fashion mecca for over a century. The iconic wooden escalators, a rare find in modern retail, serve as a nostalgic reminder of the store’s rich past.
