TEA DRINKING IN NEW YORK.
Influence of the Hebrew Immigrants From
Russia shown on the East Side.

Although New York has large popula-
ton of people Who make tea their special
drink, tea is not distinctive speciality OF
restaurants. Tea is "a staple article in
few Chinese restaurants, and Russian
tea, B cents, is the announcement In
front of a Hungarian restaurant on the
east side. Grocers on the east side below
the German quarter have begun to deal in
Russian or Caravan tea as it is some
times called in answer to the demand OF
the Russian-E Hebrew population of the
lower east side, but the samoyar is almost
unknown in public restaurants, and the
tea drinking habit is not seen in public
places.
Tea drinking is not usual in the clubs,
and the fashion of serving tea at afternoon
receptions is rather an excuse and rally
ing point than u compliance with taste.
Every well brought up English, Irish or
Scotch maidservant that comes to this
country is a tea drinker, and critical tea
drinker, inclined to resent "a cheap tea fur
nished by the mistress os the house In
many households tea is consumed almost
exclusively by the servants. Tea drinking
after European fashions has never become
really popular in this country and is not
usual save in fashionable and semifashion
able circles. Tho Chinese habit Of drink
ing tea without sugar, milk or lemon
juice has little or no vogue in New York.
Tea is hardly SO much used even as cocoa,
chocolate and their related products. There
is a considerable Spanish-American popu
lation in New York drinking coffee and
various forms OF chocolate, but little tea
With "A great many fashionable women tea
is a plaything "a drink to be served be-
cause it furnishes an excuse for displaying
dainty apparatus.
Now that large body of Russians have
become domesticated in the city, tea drink
ing is probably on the increase, and as
many of these Russians belong to race
with peculiar genius for money making
the samovar and the teacup are likely to
become moro conspicuous in public res
taurants. Tea is already q moro usual
drink in restaurants on the east side than
on the west, as both coffee and chocolate
are better in east side restaurants than in
those of corresponding grades on the west
side.
The tradition of good coffee and rich
chocolate or cocoa is strong with the Ger
man speaking peoples of the east side, and
the native American population Of the city
has much TO learn of these people touching
the proper quality of Notwithstanding ia
BILE drinks. The Russians that have come
to town are likely to impart to the native
Americans discriminating taste in tea
