The Plaza Hotel

On Sunday the female part of the Manhattan VA's surgery team headed over to The Plaza Hotel for a fancy high-tea. Why? Because high-tea is fun and delicious and we've been long overdue for an opportunity to shed the blue scrubs and look civilized again in real-people clothes.

Tea is served in the Palm Court dining room which is a wide open dining area that was never featured in Home Alone 2 Lost in New York. (Yes - it bothered me just a *little* bit that the part of the hotel we were in looked nothing like the movie... but it was fancy nonetheless)

We decided to share three of the different tea combos among the 5 of us: we decided on

1. Chocolate fondu
2. The New Yorker
3. The Fitzgerald

It was a wonderful mix of sweet and savory:

Plenty of pineapple, home-made marshmallow, bananas, strawberries, and even pretzels (!!) for the fondu 

Adorable mini fondu pot:

 ....With maybe a bit more sweet than savory...

But who's complaining?? Not me :D

Of course we can't forget the scones!!! Each combo came with a plain scone and a raisin scone
 



The savory portion of the Fitzgerald tea combo was served on a Eloise in The Plaza plate: probably unintentional, as they actually serve a tea combo called The Eloise for the young fans of the books who visit the hotel.

Just another reminder of how fun it is to live in NYC though! Everywhere is famous for something
