Thursday Afternoon Tea

After my friend flew in for a grad school interview, I thought a great idea to relax would be with some afternoon high tea, but not just any tea, Alice's Tea Cup. Its one of my favorite places to go in the city to get some quiet and has the best scones and tea. First of all, there is an entire separate menu just for their extensive list of tea. Then there is a regular menu and a list of high teas, including an unlimited choice, just take a guess which one we ordered. I seemed to have luck on my side, when we walked in there was a table available, which never happens and we got my favorite table upstairs near the corner with the big windows. After sitting and enjoying our view our huge tower of sandwiches, scones and cakes came our way. And if that wasn't enough we ordered more sandwiches after we took an "intermission" and somehow continued to eat. What a fun way to end a long week and even better I got to see my friends from home!
