All Aboard The Nostalgia Train, Leaving The 2nd Avenue Station Tomorrow!
Nostalgia Train Time Means Vintage Tea Party Time
NYC Transit is running a holiday Nostalgia Train on Sundays along the Sixth Avenue M line between Queens Plaza and Second Avenue. Which means it's time for Levys' Unique New York to offer up its annual Vintage Tea Party—they say, "The Party Like its 1912! Dust off your cravats and unfold your parasols; freshen up that boutonniere and adjust your monocle."
"Vintage Tea Party" Turns The Subway Into A Soiree
Santacon wasn't this weekend's only crazy costume event. Dozens of New Yorkers donned turn-of-the-century garb for the second-ever "Vintage Tea Party" which took place yesterday on an antique V train. Participants sipped tea, nibbled on dainty cookies, and did just about everything else you'd expect at an old-timey gathering as they traveled from Lower Manhattan to Long Island City and back. Though the "Vintage Tea Party" is over, locals looking for antique entertainment can still ride in classic subway cars on the "Nostalgia Train" — which will run on the V line on Dec. 20 and Dec. 27 between 10 am and 5 pm.
"Vintage Tea Party" Headed To The V Train On Sunday
A group of costume-clad commuters will turn a subway ride into a subterranean soiree. The tour guides from Levys' Unique New York will host a free, unsanctioned "Vintage Tea Party" on an antique subway train where costumed straphangers can sip tea, dine on dainty cookies, and enjoy "everything else you'd expect from a late-19th century parlor-room drama," according to organizers.
