Because we are home schooling this year, we have a lot of flexibility in our day. This can equate to some pretty fun outings in NYC. I am not a fan of braving the crowds of tourists on the weekend with my 3 kids in tow, but I love a weekday of city exploring. On this particular day we headed over to
Alice's Tea Cup. It is a mildly famous tea room here in NYC that is kid-friendly, and surprisingly pretty reasonably priced. We shared the Mad Hatter special, which means we stuffed ourselves for under $35- scones, two pots of tea, sandwiches, and dessert.
Eva appears to really enjoy herbal tea in this picture. She is my actress. She didn't enjoy it, even with lumps of sugar and cream added. But, she did enjoy the scones.
Madeline was not a tea fan either, but she liked the tea sandwiches, and loved being sprinkled with "fairy dust" as she entered the restaurant.
My girls' favorite thing about lunch was the whipped butter. You can see it in the bottom tier of stand. They wanted to eat it by the spoonful. Yum. Overall, this was a fun memory to have with the girls. They loved pretending to be "proper", and having time out with just mom.

If they didn't like the tea, who downed the 2 pots of it? Theresaaaaaaa?? Those tea cups are fancy stuff for 7 and 5 year olds. Cool place.
aw, that looks fun!
So fun! You're kids are having the best experience! What an amazing place to expose them to so many cool things.
OH HOW SWEET!
Wish we could have joined you.
What a fun outing! I'm sure your girls will always remember that! I LOVED tea parties when I was little. My neice (Ada's little girl) just had a tea party birthday party. Every little girl loves a good tea party!
