We tried to think of activities that suite each of the kids. When it came to thinking about Victoria, dressing up is a common theme. John suggested we spend an afternoon at the Russian Tea Room. This was not a place I was familiar with at all. What a treat we had in store.
The children's tea menu was fitting for a child... PB&J on Blini, Miniature BLT, Chopped Egg Salad, Little Pig-in-a-Blanket and Classic Tuna Fish. All tummies were happy with these options. Of course, Izzy was quick to sample the assortment on our trays, caviar being one of them!
All dressed up for a party. I don't think a single piece of jewelry wasn't worn that we packed with us. Instead of tea, another option was hot chocolate. Boy was it good.
Instead of sugar to sweeten the tea, Russian's use cherries. The syrup was sweetening and the cherries provided a unique added flavor. A couple of cherries might have been eaten as well on their own.
This menu was perfect for my picky boy.
Cheers!
A Russian Tea Room would not be complete without Russian eggs. These were exquisite in detail.
Of course, the sweets course was my favorite part of the afternoon tea.
