One of my favourite places in New York is located in The Landmark, the 10-storey flagship store of the famous jeweller Tiffany & Co.

Top 10 hotels in New York

This café and restaurant, with its charming atmosphere, not only evokes the plot of the famous film *Breakfast at Tiffany's*, but above all offers a superb culinary experience.

Signature menu

The Blue Box Café is run by the renowned French chef Daniel Boulud and is a wonderful spot not only for a romantic breakfast, lunch or afternoon snack.

The menu is centred around three themed set menus. You can order any of them at any time during the day, within the restaurant’s opening hours.

• Breakfast at Tiffany's – This menu pays the most homage to the film of the same name and the scene where Holly Golightly sits outside Tiffany & Co. with a coffee and a croissant.
  • Price 68 usd

• Tea at Tiffany's – The menu perfectly combines savoury and sweet canapés and is ideal for afternoon tea.
  • Price 98 usd

• À la carte – The standard menu focuses primarily on seasonal and local produce.
  • Prices from 30 usd to 50 usd

We ordered the ‘Breakfast at Tiffany's ’ and ‘Tea at Tiffany’s’, along with two cocktails.

The total price for the ‘ 350 usd ’, including tip, isn’t exactly cheap, but it was definitely worth it for the experience!

You can view the full menu on the official website,blueboxcafenyc.com.

Take a look around Tiffany’s flagship store

I would definitely recommend taking a look at all seven floors of the Tiffany’s flagship jewellery store that are open to the public.

The premises are simply stunning, and even a visit to the marble toilets is an experience in itself.
