Madeline's Tea Party at Bemelmans Bar

Madeline-inspired tea and brunch

Madeline's Tea Party is a children- and family-oriented afternoon tea and brunch experience at Bemelmans Bar in New York City. The format centers on a Madeline theme and combines custom sweet treats with live entertainment. The event is scheduled as a two-hour program, with exact timing handled in the event details shown on the page.

The tea spread is described as an all-you-can-eat, child-friendly buffet. Listed food and drink items include custom sweets, cupcakes, finger foods, Shirley Temples, tea, and juices. The source description also highlights custom sweet treats as part of the event, so the food component is more specific than a standard tea service.

Music, singing, and read-alongs

The program includes live piano music, singing, story read-alongs, classic children's songs, and sing-alongs. Tina deVaron is listed as host and pianist, and she leads the live musical performance and read-along. The musical portion is described as taking place around the Steinway piano.

For families deciding whether the event is primarily meal-focused or performance-focused, the available details point to a combined format: tea and brunch items are paired with music, singing, and a read-along rather than presented as separate activities. No additional performers are named beyond Tina deVaron.

Bemelmans Bar setting

Bemelmans Bar is the featured venue, listed as a bar at 35 E 76th St in New York City. The event is described as taking place in the lounge decorated with Ludwig Bemelmans' original murals, including classic Madeline murals. Those venue details are part of the event description, not a separate venue review.
