A cup of tea is worth the 10,500 miles to get there with a reservation at Tiffany’s Blue Box Café. Opening at 10am you can have a literal breakfast at Tiffany’s! Located on the 4th floor of the iconic flagship store, we recommend you put on your Sunday best and order the Fifth Avenue Salad while sipping on the Tiffany Blend. Time permitting; indulge in a little retail therapy. What’s that common saying? Diamonds are a girl’s best friend? When in Rome? You only live once? You get the picture. If perhaps your private jet is down for routine maintenance, best to read up on the menu here in preparation for your definitely happening visit.

Just make sure to have your phone on full charge, this place is seriously insta-worthy.
