We tried The Crosby Bar’s afternoon tea after years of going to The Plaza. The Crosby’s gluten free offerings were delicious and we preferred their GF scones. The Crosby was also a better value; the finger sandwiches were bigger and we had the option of asking for more at no extra charge. Truly excellent. We will be back.
