Special Events
Over the years, we have hosted Comedy Nights, Poetry Readings, Book Clubs and, of course, Tea Tasting Sessions. We exhibit the artwork of our local artists with the co-operation of the Tarrytown & Sleepy Hollow Arts Council. We have even had Tarot Card Readings! And they are all fun!
Tea Tasting Sessions
Several times a year, we hold a Tea Tasting event. It is an opportunity for customers to sample 4 – 5 different teas, learn about their origin and history, compare tasting profiles and discuss similarities and differences between and among various selections. Sometimes we throw in an impromptu quiz (we know we should make these more difficult!) and give away prizes for the correct (or almost correct!) answer. Refreshments are included for the entry price and for many of our customers, this has become a regular outing! It is a great way to spend an evening - learning something new, enjoying good food, meeting new people and even walking away with a prize!
Fun Events As the year unfolds, we keep pace with the calendar and match our festivities to the occasion. We offer our special St. Valentine's tea on February 14, we celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a 'Green' menu and Irish specialties. Irish Breakfast is on prominent display during March. Our biggest day of the year is, of course, our Mother's Day Special Afternoon Tea service. Typically, we have 3 seatings and include a special gift for each Mom. We love that day and evidently, our patrons do too. We usually sell out every seating. Before the official holiday season comes our Anniversary in November and we throw a party with games, raffles, specials and sales. Comedy Nights, Tarot Card Readings and other nifty events are sprinkled through the year.
Catering and Parties Because we are a small Tea house, private parties always pose a dilemma. If we close the restaurant, we inconvenience our regular patrons; if we don't offer our Tea Room for parties, we disappoint those who want to celebrate at our establishment. We've tried to find a middle path by offering Saturdays from 4 to 6 pm during the summer as our party slot. Catering orders, however, are no problem and have increased ten-fold in the past several years. We offer garnished, plated trays of our great food and all you have to do it invite your guests. We provide sandwiches, sweets, desserts, salads and even tea. Please consult our Catering Menu for details and we're always glad to customize a selection for you.

LOYALTY HAS ITS REWARDS Like many retailers, we have a Loyalty Card. At first, we used a paper product but we now have a plastic Loyalty/Gift Card. It rewards our customers for visiting us frequently and also makes a nifty gift. Upon receiving a card, each customer fills out an enrollment form which requests name, address, phone number, e-mail and a birthday month.
Not only do we give $15 free dollars after a set amount of points, we have decided to pick one lucky customer every two weeks and add 100 loyalty points to their card. So as our loyal customers reward us with their vists, we are giving them an extra bonus. In these tough times, a little unexpected cheer goes a long way.

GOING GREEN....
1. We're proud to announce that Silver Tips is now using 100% GREEN POWER - a combination of Wind Energy and low-impact Hydro Energy.
2. We've replaced all our light bulbs with energy-efficient ones through a partnership with our local energy company.
3. We're now using 'Ecotainer' sample cups. They are compostable and perfect for greening our Tea Room. These hot cups have an inner lining made from 100% corn whereas conventional paper hot cups have inner linings made from petroleum. Also the paper comes from trees that were harvested sustainably and the cups are elemental chlorine-free.
