Hunter's Point South Park

The exact meeting spot within the park is sent to everyone registered once it is confirmed.

Escape the city bustle and experience the tranquility of Nodate, an outdoor tea gathering held monthly across New York City. This September we return to Hunter's Point South Park in Queens, where the East River and the Manhattan skyline open up before you.

Join us for an afternoon by the water as the summer heat gives way to a clear autumn breeze and softer light. We will share a freshly whisked bowl of matcha and take in the first hints of fall along the waterfront.

Each sitting lasts thirty minutes. Choose the one that suits you; the tea is the same at each.
