Here to Stay Talking with Moore over steaming cups of English Breakfast and vanilla tea in her luxurious Saks location, it’s hard to imagine that this business began as a plan B to avoid unimaginable deportation. But somehow, things for Moore seem to have turned out the way they were supposed to. “People would say to me, ‘Don’t be silly, you’re not from south of the border, you’re not going to get deported.’ Nobody would think I’d have this kind of issue because I’m from England,” Moore says. “But there’s a huge issue. I’d lived in the country since 2003, I’ve worked here, I had a house here, I had a rental property here and I played the game. I wasn’t an illegal immigrant. I worked within the system, and then to have the system fail me so drastically. From my point of view, it was like look, my back was against the wall because of immigration issues, but out of that came something positive.” Not only did the new location mean that Tilly’s Tea Room was here to stay, Moore seems to be here for good, too. Just days before Tilly’s reopened on the third floor of Saks Fifth Avenue, Moore finally received her green card. In three years, she’ll be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship. But still, Moore wonders: “If I’d had this green card three months earlier would I have opened this [location at Saks] or would I have just gone and got a ‘normal’ job?” Thankfully, we’ll never know the answer. At Tilly’s Tea Room at Saks, guests can find traditional menu items like Afternoon Tea with scones and cucumber sandwiches or more trendy items like avocado toast and cheese boards. Tilly’s has a wide selection of salads, sandwiches and panini, too. And with their large shared event space, Tilly’s also hosts gatherings like baby showers, corporate lunch meetings and even fashion presentations. Plus, Tilly’s offers a few public events, like joining Saks for their Saks Gallery Third Thursday art events, and partnering with Alice’s Table to offer flowerarranging events beginning in September, complete with wine and hors d’oeuvres.
