The Mount Vernon Hotel Museum and Garden is a lovely place in New York City. If you feel you have been to all the museums, try this place. So historic, and very quaint, you will really enjoy it. These are their events for the rest of the month of June. I need to do their tea one of these days!

Grand Victorian Garden Tea
June 18, 4-8 pm.
Gemini and Scorpio invite you to travel back in time to the Victorian Age, to an elegant country resort a short carriage ride away from the hustle and bustle of the city (which at that time extended only as far as 14th Street). It's a proper turn-of-century tea party with finger sandwiches, scones and fancies served in a darling garden attached to an impossible Victorian cottage overlooking modern Manhattan. Historical chef Rebecca Leigh Silverman will hand-make delectable treats from antique recipes, and give a small talk about each dish. Enjoy period appropriate leisure activities too. Dress code: 1800-1910s summer garden party, with all white, cream and pastel tones encouraged. For tickets click here.
