"From October through mid-December, the Carlyle’s legendary Bemelmans Bar—beloved for its wall-to-wall murals painted by Madeline author and illustrator, Ludwig Bemelmans—opens up for afternoon tea and cake for kids. Little ones get to sing Madeline’s songbook along with Tina de Varon at the piano."

"Open for business since 1930, The Carlyle is just a few blocks from Central Park and Museum Mile. And you can’t check-out without stopping for a drink in Bemelmans Bar, which has murals painted by Ludwig Bemelmans, the author of the Madeline series. This is one of the best hotels in the world in terms of service, décor, comfort, and amenities."

The performance was excellent. The decor had an old school charm. The meal was not special, underwhelming and stupidly overpriced. Excellent music and far superior meals can be had elsewhere in New York for a fraction of the price.

It’s been for a while since I wanted to come for afternoon tea at the Carlyle cafe, and now it became my second favorite place for afternoon tea in the city. My daughter, my daughter in law and I, we go every month to a different tea salon, but for some reason never got a chance to try it at the Carlyle. Perhaps, we saved it for a special occasion. I loved everything, the red water glasses 👍, the decor, the ambiance small quiet room, the tea selection, the food (little scones baked at the premises are just delicious), and most of all - exceptional service. Gilberto, our server, went above and beyond to ensure that our tea service experience was beyond superb. Everything was just perfect. We came with two toddlers and a month old baby. Our first afternoon tea with the new family addition! Glad we picked this room. What a wonderful and unforgettable experience, we enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you! Can’t wait to be back. P.s. one little comment on sugar packets- brown sugar cubes would make the whole experience even better ☺️

This is my favorite hotel in the city because of the old New York charm. Magic always happens here. On this night I bumped into Reese Witherspoon and got to watch a mesmerizing jazz performance by Dianna Agron. That said, I wish they would include the price of dinner in the tickets since there is a mandatory minimum spend. I thought dinner was included with the tickets. It’s not. Alas, it was a beautifully pricy evening winding back the clock to old New York. 🕰️🗽🎷🍸

I came here for afternoon Tea with my group this past June. The decor alone takes you in-I looove. Though it is a small space, you do not feel as if people can intrude on your conversation- the layout has been well planned to exude intimacy but also a feeling of spaciousness. The spread was adequate. I recommend the peaches and ginger tea if your into spicy sweet. I had the Tropical green which is more on the herbal side.My only objection is the packet sugar. It screams diner and cheapens the experience. Sugar cubes are a must.

Brunch at the Carlyle is so fabulously luxurious. You are greeted, seated at perfectly appointed tables with gorgeous linens and then offered big fat menus. We came on a day that was simply horrid with rain so sitting and chilling was just right and a slow relaxed brunch was heaven. No one was rushing and in NYC that is something of a miracle! Brunch is 3 courses and so large and so delicious. They always have a glorious hunk of meat in the trolley and it is not to be missed. We were stuffed but dessert was awesome. After the longest brunch we headed to the iconic Bemelman’s bar for a cocktail. Now this is what Sunday is all about. Please follow @joannasable on instagram for more food and travel fun.

There's nothing quite like an evening at the Carlyle , the premier cabaret in town. Dining here brings me immense joy, and witnessing the live performances elevates the experience to something truly exceptional.

Such a beautiful, intimate venue. Perfect place to see a performer in a small, cozy setting. The food was excellent, there's not a bad seat in the house. Pricey, but so very worth it.
