About the event
A Madeline-inspired tea and sing-along
This is a family-friendly afternoon tea party and musical sing-along inspired by the Madeline children's book series by Ludwig Bemelmans. The format combines tea service with live entertainment rather than a standard seated reading or meal. It is scheduled for a Sunday afternoon at Bemelmans Bar in New York City, with the event running as an afternoon program rather than an evening bar service.
The Madeline connection is part of both the theme and the program description: the source description calls it a Madeline-inspired tea party, while the format note ties the sing-along to the children's book series. That gives the event a specific literary frame, with the tea party, music, and storytelling all organized around the same subject.
Food, sweets, and drinks
The food and beverage details include a child-friendly buffet, custom sweet treats, Madeline cupcakes, finger foods, Shirley Temples, and tea. The event description separately highlights custom sweet treats, so the sweets are not just incidental refreshments; they are one of the named parts of the tea-party offering.
The menu information is specific enough to distinguish the event from a general children's activity: it lists both kid-oriented items and tea-service elements. Finger foods, cupcakes, Shirley Temples, and tea are the concrete items named for the program, while the child-friendly buffet describes the broader service format.
Music, storytelling, and setting
Tina deVaron is the named featured performer, identified as a pianist, singer, and storyteller. The program includes live piano music and storytelling led by deVaron, with children invited to gather around the piano. That makes the entertainment a led musical and storytelling component, not just background music.
The setting is Bemelmans Bar, listed as the featured venue and identified as a bar in New York City. The address is 35 E 76th St, New York, NY 10021. The venue and address place the tea party on the Upper East Side rather than at a separate theater, school, or bookstore.
