7.30.12 Lady Mendl's Tea

Today, I went to Lady Mendl's 5 course tea service at The Inn at Irving Place (56 Irving Place, New York, NY). It was lovely. All the food and the tea was absolutely delish!

On my way there, I noticed this plaque on the building across the street. Washington Irving lived here! I guess that's why it's called Irving Place. I never knew that ...

Afterward, I went home and changed my sheets. Exciting stuff.
Chewie is as excited as I am about our new lamb sheets.
