sw_inku and I went to a five-course tea at The Inn at Irving Place today. The restaurant is called Lady Mendl's (that's not a typo), and is very Victorian in its decor. The food was delicious and the tea very good (though the selection isn't as good as it is at Alice's). It's also very expensive at $35 a person; I think you pay for the interior design because the portions aren't exactly big. Not a place to go to every day, or even every weekend, but it was a good time.

Following tea we went to see my optometrist. I have new sunglasses! 8D And I will have new glasses by tomorrow morning, which is exciting.

Then Mom and I went to see God of Carnage tonight. It's HILARIOUS. I'm no play analyst, but I'm pretty sure the point here was about civility and the over-civilization of society and how ridiculous we all are. But see it and judge for yourself. It's definitely the sort of play that can't be done if the cast can't work well together, and there really isn't room to be too over the top in your acting because the pace is so fast and the dialogue is outrageous as it is. The cast tonight had Lucy Liu and Jeff Daniels, and was excellent.
