Let's be honest here. Nothing in the world is better than a fancy cup of tea. Well, possibly an adorable, tasty cupcake to accompany each sip... but that's besides the fact. Now. Take a fabulous cup of tea, and then add it to some Alice in Wonderland-esque fabulousness, and you get this..."Twinkle, twinkle little bat How I wonder what you're at! Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky."
-Lewis Carroll
Royal/T, Los Angeles: So this place is not only a tea cafe, but also an art studio, and apparently fashion runway! This month Royal/T will be having Alice-themed events, from an Alice inspired fashion show, to $25 Alice High Tea! Alice High Tea includes Playing Card Tea Sandwiches, Eat Me Cupcakes, Drink Me Green Tea and Cheshire Cat Macaroons. How exquisite!
Mandrin Oriental Hotel, New York: This classy hotel is serving Mad Hatter Teas until April 30th! For $42, tea time includes Twiddle Tea Sandwiches and Twiddle Crumbs Desserts like Queen of Hearts linzer tarts and Cheshire Cat cupcakes. Yumm!
Langham Hotel, London: Check it outt! A super classy Afternoon Tea alongside finger sandwiches with blue fin tuna and pickled cucumber, or smoked Scottish organic salmon with horseradish and watercress... Delish! And if you're not feeling the tea... check out their artisan cocktail bar and booze it up, Alice style of course! This Eat Me Drink Me Cocktail for $21 is a fabulous infusion of "G'vine Floraison gin shaken with lemon juice and peach liqueur, then finished with a rose petal and hibiscus sugar rim. It is served with an indulgent chocolate and caramel slice"....Tempted? I, most certainly am!
Cheers!!
stay classy,

Aw thank you for your nice comment:)
I know, I was so bummed I couldn't get the dress. Ah yes and the price is high, but oh so worth it. Hehe. Wow I would LOVE to go to that tea place :)
This is so fun! I wonder if the Mandarin in Boston is doing it too.... :)
Oh wow, how wonderfully whimsical! I wish there are places like that to go to here!
Anything Alice in Wonderland is magical in my book:)

This could be a perfect way to spend one of the weekend's evenings! Or, like I love doing, this could be a perfect way to end a meal at another place just by coming to one of those places for an Alice in Wonderland inspired dessert :)
Ummm...hello, yes to all of the above. In fact, and don't laugh, I'm tempted to dress as Alice to dine at any and all of these locations!! :)
Ohhh, alice style tea that sounds amazing. I have a friend who got together with some friends of his on halloween and had a alice tea party, all of them dressed up as the diffferent characters, I saw pictures, it looked so fun.
