Forget electricity and sliced bread, brunch is possibly the greatest thing to ever happen to humankind. This weekend my lovely friend, Jessica, and I ventured out in the cold to Alice’s Tea Cup on the Upper East Side. Yes, it was Alice in Wonderland themed, and yes, it made me want to spit rainbows and cry fairy dust. I loved it… except for the amount of people under the age of 10 and their mommies with strollers.

Aside from all of the munchkins running around, they had great food at good prices (I had the vegetarian egg-white omlette) and an excellent selection of tea (I even purchased a few ounces before I left and they came in hot pink bags). They also have fairy wings, tiaras, and wands to be purchased if the mood strikes.

I asked about holding a cocktail party there for my birthday next month, and though it seemed reasonable at first, it’s actually quite pricey at $100/hour in addition to $27 a head for food that doesn’t include drinks. Maybe next year.
