I popped over to Argo Tea over on state & washington (I believe). I've heard good things about Argo Tea. It's a Chicago based tea-cafe (correct me if I'm wrong) who have recently spread to other places in New York City so it's no longer Chicago's little tea-gem. The Argo Tea I visited has two floors so I was looking also for the study-like atmosphere. But there's nothing special about this place. The upstairs was awful in the arrangement of chairs and tables. Everything had a hard surface so it echoed worse than the Grand Canyon. And the people who were studying there obviously weren't very seriously about their studies because they blabbed more about E! than their homework thanks to the upstairs acoustics I heard every last detail.
The tea was the best part, as it should be in this case. I ordered the Red Velvet tea w/skim and it was delicious! A little pricey but it was a treat and I can't wait to go back to try more teas. They have a great selections of all sorts of hot and cold tea mixtures and just thinking about it gets me in the mood for another.
My cafe wanderings may have to slow down a little bit now that my dance education has gone into full swing for the semester. But I hope to get to the Looseleaf Lounge this Saturday sometime.
Cheers!
