Nicky's Tea

This video insprired me to join Current TV and make my own pod.
I love Tea and Sympathy and go there whenever I'm in New York.

GL. Good job. Please check out my AD for L'Oreal it's called Don't Stop the Party. Tell me what you think.

Congratulations eleni on getting accepted for TV. I liked this piece very much. I used to work just down the street and didn't know about this place. I lived in London for 3 years so I'll check it out. Emmm... eggs, beans & toast.

If you have 5 minutes, please check out Drawn For Life for a Green Light consideration.

Looking forward to seeing more from you eleni.
Peace, Morgan

I'm Irish, married to and English woman and we live in New York City. Even I took offense to the notion that English food was crap. It's nonsense. It's somewhat arrogant for Americans to perpetuate such a notion given that Americans are the fattest people on the planet. Having said that, however, the Irish are now second and the English not far behind.
I must say for the record that I miss English supermarket food. It's of the highest quality of any place I've been to and I've traveled a lot.
Please see my film while your at it.
Thanks.

nice piece! i live closeby and definetely will check this place out

Boring

Absolutely fantastic!

I really thought English food sucked, maybe not!

It's lame . She does a good job, but lets be real quite boring.

deff a GL, very nice work.

feel free to check out my pod here link
and to GL if you like it

thanks
shane.

its nice to hear a good immigration story once in a while.

I dont mind brits coming to america.

Allthough I think American food in britain is bad too from what I hear :P

I dug the story line. It's cool to see how cultures adapts to new places. You might enjoy my pod on American culture colliding with a Thai market Momma, I'm Scared

nice work. I liked your use of time remapping. if you get a chance, please check out my pod "generation debt."
many thanks.
GL from me.

fascinating - i can't believe 17 british couples have met here...! could've been a bit shorter, and some of the interviews seem to be more cutaway then actual interviews, but i really like the overall pace and love the story you tell

Camera work shaky and goes in and out of focus. There were a few sound gaffs that were annoying and use a windmuff for the mike if you're going to film in windy conditions.

little choppy

tea is awesome

nice!

Large English Breakfast please.... Food of the gods... GL here and on the UK site

I will stop by Tea & Sympathy the next time I'm in NYC. I haven't had a good cup of tea since I visited the UK. Greenlight.

Hmmm... I voted for this before but I guess that was for the US side so here's my GL for the UK.

Again check out my experience with a proper(ly horrifying) British breakfast at the Golden Fleece: the supposedly most haunted inn in York.

Eleni, eleni, eleni... I greenlit your video a while ago, but I think my comment was overlooked. I could really use your personal review... Please, take a chance at my New Hip Hop Art pod. It could use your personal videography advice and approval for TV.

Don't sleep, now... Thank you! 8')

brilliant! always wanted to know more about this legendary place...

excellent! I'd kill for a place like that here in Colorado!

amazing, really interesting

I'm a bit of an Anglophile and I found it completely absorbing. The titles were too fast but otherwise I loved it.

didn't really do anything for me

Grea concept. Seems like there are few editing issues. But what a unique and interesting story.

clearly i dont read quickly enough... this film isnt dyslexia friendly

right on!

I agree with some of the earlier posts; the editing could be tighter and the piece itself shorter. But it's good stuff. Greenlight.

I love the topic. I'm craving a cup of tea and fag right now.

Great topic but I think a bit long. Maybe cut down some of the walking around at the beginning and get to the heart of the story sooner. Shorten the sound bits a touch.

Loved how you used the freeze frame to title Nicky.

Green light.

Too slow getting to the point.

Hi Everyone,

Sean, from Tea & Sympathy here, not long after this report was filmed we launched "The Campaign For Little Britain" which is an idea to get our block named Little Britain in recognition of all the work we have done for the neighborhood as well as protect small businesses like ours from the 4x increase in rents landlords are now asking for. Small, local businesses like ours create the personality and diversity of the neighborhood but we are all under threat from the homogeneous global brands that are driving the rents up.

To date over 5000 people have signed the petition online at www.campaignforlittlebritain.com PLEASE GO AND ADD YOUR NAME NOW!!

Also we made a little film too which you can watch here link

Cheers!

Sean

its a good prespective and i love english food : )

fantastic - I want to go!

The video gave an interesting perspective. If you think about all of the different ethnic or cultural restaurants available in a city, you never think of 'English' as a possibility.

hot stuff

I love tea!!!!
GL

So all the stories of Brit food were false?... Heehee. Thank you for sharing that awesome video post... You have some good editing skills... I could learn a few things from you. PLEASE, please, take just a moment to return your input on my own CAN ART video. I would personally love your consent for TV.

winning pom's

I L-O-V-E tea. I think she did a great job in keeping it interesting. I believe I am going to add visiting "Tea & Sympathy" on my list of things to do before I die.

I'm admittedly a bit of an anglophile, but i felt like this made these places out to be more "shock" or themed commercial ventures than havens for authentic English culture.

Congratulations on making it to #3

Check out Sister Beatrice Explores. Once she gets into the Darjeeling she can't stop...

i liked letting people know British food is excellent, it could be cut a little shorter leaving out some of the long interviews

I really liked the video but seems many people mention it is a bit long for them. Perhaps you could start straight of at the cresendo and begin at Tea & Sympathy and cut the getting there scenes like taking the taxi and stuff.

Your next video could be about Tea & Crumpet!

GL, but needs some chopping...

A little long....I've been to Sympathy for the Kettle in the East Village.

Great inside look...I always love learning new little cultural tidbits! Sounds like a cool place to visit...I'll have to get a cup of earl grey next time I'm there ; )

a little too long. but very cute. good luck.

Love tea. Will ahve to try when I make it the east coast.

you British girls are so cute and funny

Nice pod! But nice British breakfast? What's with the beans and kippers, pray tell?

Now I like good British pub food - I was in the UK in October eating and drinking at pubs along the way.

I stayed in the so-called most haunted inn in York, the Golden Fleece which served a proper British breakfast in the morning to those who survived the night.

The breakfast was fine except for the horrifying presence of beans! Beans next to fried eggs and bacon! I found the ghosts less ghastly in comparison.

As for the comment about poor American bacon, head south where we have good hickory smoked bacon that'll make your mouth water and your blood pressure sing!

Check out my pod, BTW, it has snippets of a beefeater and the battle of hastings.

Looks good Eleni, take a second look at your audio though see if you can make it cleaner. Nice idea!

GL..another nice vid.

Tea Totally Good

Nice piece! LG!

Please take a moment to check out my Pods...

unique story...nice

Gia sou Eleni, great video. I actually saw this one on TV first. You need to check out Chicago's Greek community too. Lots of interested stuff there too. Ahhh I miss the US branch. Good video and nicely cut!

Nice job. Kept it interesting although too long. good job hosting and getting a complete account of the place and its environment. GL & GL
, ar

nice vid.a bit long.I've lived in YN since 1979 (from GB).Never seen a British fish and chip shop. Need to check it out when I visit.

If you cut it down to five minutes I would vote yes. Great, great story. Very good hosting, excellent sound and great interviewing. It just needs to be shorter. It seems like most of the content is kind of raw.

But Eleni is hot.

Congratulations on making it to #7!

Very cute and unexpected story.

GL! I agree it can be shortened to get to the point. Great character studies at the tea house. I am such an anglophile. I love English Breakfast with beans and fried eggs...yummm. We need a place like this in San Francisco!

When you get a chance, can you look at my film on dog breed discriminationAmbassadors of the Breed?

Great Characters to interview. I want to go hang out there now. Just a little long but it seems you found a story you didn't expect. The sense of community derived from a cup of tea and an English breakfast.

You can't beat a cup of tea. Great film too. A little to long if anything. Best watched with a brew and a packet of hobnobs.

the english language just sounds so much better when spoken with a british accent. hmmm. this is great! a tad long though, needs to be seriously shortened. and another thing that I question is the focus of this pod: is it REALLY about finding a good cup of tea in New York? That is what you are telling us in the very beginning. From the middle point onward, the direction starts to change to tea and british food...which is fine, if that is the focus. it just seems to stray from the beginning idea. I do really like this. keep at it! great job.

if you've got time, I'd love to hear your thoughts on my pods: Running with Penguins and A Scottish Ramble. Thanks!!

Very entertaining with excellent quality footage. I'd recommend tightening it up to around 6 minutes in length, but great pod none the less. GL!

nICE I've been to sympathy for the kettle before cool little shop. All the talk of food makes me sick....the girl in the piece is a cutie

Very nicely done. Only thing is...it made me so hungry I had to go and make bacon and eggs with baked beans and tomatoes on the side. And then I wanted some Fish 'n' Chips. We have the same problem in France - they don't make good tea and its very hard to get decent bacon & eggs. Ditto Fish 'n' Chips. Although I've found crumpets in the supermarket.

Cool I think I will try to find it next time I go to New York

blimey,
is that Sean KD?
Great film

Such a surprise to see a restaurant that I once visited. Great British characters really brought this doc alive.

good pod, i like the different feel. it covers a subject im not too familiar with, but great pod! very beautiful too :)

If you get a chance check out my current promo link Thanks

Good to see the flag being flown

Quaint

nice one

great producing

go nicky

this piece is cute

God bless Americans and British food

I like the personality-driven approach, you could have cut down the intro a bit and arrived at the restaurant...

The most important thing is that you went off the beaten path and told a story that would not have otherwise been told - local with international significance!

I love english tea! My wife is Irish and totally turned me onto english tea. Great subject. Fantastic production. I think your "hard cut" editing style is really effective and infuses the piece with a lot of energy. GL

If you have a moment, please check out my Sims 2 commercial. You've obviously a current.tv veteran, and I'm curious to hear how my work shapes up. Here' the link

enter your post hereNice one

Stupid Brit! This one was terrible! She was extremely annoying! And we do dring Tea! I drink Black tea several times a day.

And food in the UK???? Yeah,... it's bad, except there is a little Mexican restaraunt in Soho, called "South Of The Border",... go there, it's pretty damn good!

Dump iT!!!!

Great idea. Well executed. Guess I liked it.

Like your work...got my GL.....When you have a minute - please review "The Kitchen Killer" - a POD on indoor air quality/burns associated with Open Flame Cooking and a simple low cost solution. It effects those Least Served.
The link is :link

Interesting pod. I particularly like the part about being British meaning it's more about being a good global citizen now. If only we could do that in the U.S.

Good job keeping it flowing, and bringing in a lot of personal touches.

Vic

P.S. Take a look at our please.

I love your style, and i have to tell you that I could easily count the number of cups of tea I've had on one hand...GL!

really cool and put together very well.

Interesting work. I enjoy work that explores opinions of us in other countries so I enjoyed this film.
