The long-awaited event has occurred; I attended the Cupcake Tea at Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park. My friend Tricia is expecting a baby boy and had her pre-baby shower party there. She is just so classy! I always love her picks for our dinner, lunch and drink dates. She seems to know all the hot spots in NYC.
The Star Lounge is very cozy and sophisticated and our waitress was the bomb who knew how to make a mean chai tea.
We were each served five cute mini cupcakes which was way more than I felt comfortable eating. I was over stuffed, but just kept eating because that’s what I do when something is delicious. The tea was good as well. I had an Afternoon Tea which was a mixture of green and black teas, but they also had some more exciting sounding options as well, like the Mad Hatters Tea Party (or something like that).
