Eighteen Months Later, Bosie Tea Parlor Is Opening

The Bosie of Oscar Wilde fame. He probably drank a lot of tea.
Way back in October of 2009, we heard that the West Village would be getting a shiny new tea parlor featuring blends from L'Âge de Thé, a fine-tea company co-owned by Kiley Holliday, the country's youngest tea master.

Although we had no idea that such a title even existed, we were intrigued: finally, an alternative to all of those places offering only exhaustively pedigreed coffee and artisanal sticky buns. But nothing happened.

Until now: Diner's Journal reports that the tea parlor, called Bosie, is opening on Morton Street this Thursday. In addition to a selection of some 100 teas, it will sell an assortment of French pastries made by Damien Herrgott, a veteran of Ladurée in Paris and Bouley Bakery. City codes were the explanation for the holdup; we're still waiting for someone to explain whether the place is named after Oscar Wilde's spoiled and insolent young lover.

Or perhaps the name is the original meaning of the word, i.e. Scots for a kiss and a cuddle. Presumably the nickname for Lord Alfred came down to him through his Scots parentage.
