Tea Drunk and Barrel Strength Talent team up at Meili's Williamsburg rooftop for a whiskey and tea comparative tasting paired with a special dim sum menu by Chef Peter He, one of New York's most decorated Chinese chefs.
A sleek Williamsburg Sichuan restaurant where the menu balances deep chili heat with surprising precision. Dry pot, dan dan noodles, and smoked tea duck all land with real intensity rather than trend-chasing theatrics. The room stays polished and low-lit, making it just as viable for a long dinner with cocktails as a quick hit of mapo tofu and Chongqing chicken.
