 Bloody Brilliant Things

To Do In

NYC’s Little Britain

Tuesday, December 3, 2024

ISSUE #1354

Secret New York

From stopping for a pint at the local pub or ordering crispy fish n chips to munch on, there’s no better place to experience English culture in NYC than its very own Little Britain.

Is there anything more British than a cup of tea? Tea & Sympathy owners, Nicky Perry and Sean Kavanagh-Dowsett, have set out to bring a true taste of England to NYC with afternoon tea fit for a Queen. Beyond tea time, the adorable shop sells an assortment of British groceries and comfort food. We recommend stopping by for a Full English Breakfast.

108 Greenwich Avenue

Fancy some fish n chips? This British classic is best served at A Salt and Battery. Sink your teeth into crispy, lightly-battered, deep fried fish like only England knows how to do. And don’t forget to splash some malt vinegar on your chips (aka fries)!

112 Greenwich Avenue

Myers of Keswick is an integral part of NYC’s Little Britain as the city’s oldest British grocery store. Selling homemade pies, sausages and scones since 1985, no visit to Little Britain is complete without picking up a few British goods from here. Whether you’re a British expat in NYC or simply an Anglophile, find all the best treats of England, from Jaffa Cakes to Smarties (iykyk).

634 Hudson Street

It’s not a trip to Little Britain without grabbing a pint at the pub. White Horse Tavern is NYC’s second oldest tavern, and a perfect place to enjoy a nice cold beer. Famous patrons such as Bob Dylan, James Baldwin, and Dylan Thomas are rumored to have frequented the spot.

567 Hudson St., at 11th Street
