The Plaza New York is serving up a new collaboration with Lacoste this summer, blending luxury hospitality and French sporting heritage. The Fifth Avenue property announced it will debut a Tennis-Inspired Afternoon Tea in its Palm Court through September 10, timed to coincide with New York’s tennis season.
The limited-run tea service is designed in partnership with Lacoste and takes cues from Le Café Lacoste, the brand’s newly launched culinary concept. Executive Chef Muhannad Al Ateem and Executive Pastry Chef Kevin Clemenceau created a menu that nods to both French style and the sport’s traditions. Highlights include the pistachio-based Le Crocodile entremets, Court Side Cucumber sandwiches, a twist on the classic croque monsieur dubbed Le “Croc” Monsieur, and themed desserts like the Game. Set. Citrus. lemon cake and Earl Grey Tea Break macarons.
