alice's tea cup

aaaaand this girl has yet another food recommendation. i've always heard that alice's tea cup was a fun place to go, but i didn't have the opportunity to go myself until this morning. i decided it would be a fun place to take my mom, and it being wednesday, i didn't have to worry about the treacherous wait i've heard it  has on the weekends. i went to "chapter 3" of alice's tea cup, located on 81st between 2nd and 3rd. the moment i walked in i felt like i was in a fairy tale/tree house/wonderland (approrpriately). there were tutus on the wall and alice and wonderful murals and beautiful china oh my!
        my mom and i got to sit on a raised area towards the front where we could look down on the rest of the restaurant and also out the window. there were about 100 different teas to choose from and we ordered the peach tea with flowers. it was fabulous! so flavorful! it came in a lovely purple tea pot with a porcelain kitten on top, which was clearly so up my alley. i ordered an omelette and my mom got the crepes. both were wonderful. mine came with a side of grilled pears and asparagus which was quite an unlikely duo but delicious nonetheless. this place would be so fun to take out of town friends for tea and scones on a rainy afternoon. i have to say, alice's tea cup is as good as everyone said!
