MARYANN’S TEA ROOM Upon entering a historic atrium originally built as the greenhouse for the Jos Witek Florist, owner Karen Halper knew a tea room would be born. Karen envisioned a respite from the hustle of everyday lunch, with a touch of elegance. She opened MaryAnn’s Tea Room in 2014, her first adventure as a restaurateur. Stay tuned as she brings Café Balaban back home to the Central West End in 2020.
