Madeline's Tea Party at Bemelmans Bar

A Madeline-inspired tea party with storytelling

Madeline's Tea Party is a family-friendly tea party and musical storytelling performance inspired by the Madeline children's book series by Ludwig Bemelmans. The format combines tea-party service with a performance element rather than presenting the event as only a meal. The event is in New York City at Bemelmans Bar, connecting the Madeline theme with a venue whose name is also tied to Bemelmans in the event materials.

The source description identifies the event as a Madeline-inspired tea party for little ones and notes both custom sweet treats and live entertainment. Those details support a concise reading of the event: it is built around the children’s-book theme, a tea-party menu, and an in-room entertainment component.

Food, drinks, and featured treats

The food and drink details are specific: the event features a child-friendly buffet, custom sweet treats, Madeline cupcakes, pastries, teas, juices, and Shirley Temples. The event description separately mentions custom sweet treats, so the dessert portion is not just a general tea-party assumption. Beverages are listed alongside the buffet and sweets, giving the menu a broader structure than cupcakes alone.

Live music at Bemelmans Bar

Tina deVaron leads the program as pianist, singer, and storyteller. Her role includes playing songs at the Steinway piano and hosting sing-alongs, so the live entertainment is described as participatory musical storytelling rather than an unnamed background performance. She is also identified as the featured person for the event.

Bemelmans Bar is the featured venue and is identified as a bar in New York City. The address is 35 E 76th St, New York, NY 10021. The location details support the venue and city planning facts without adding assumptions about seating, admission, service style, or availability.
