Wonderland Weekend

To celebrate the release of Alice in Wonderland, there has been
all matter of Alice-themed paraphernalia. But we think the best way to
honor Lewis Carrolls classic is with a very merry un-birthday tea party.

Hotel Vancouver has rejigged its afternoon
tea to be Wonderland-inspired. Playing cards are strewn across the
table underneath your tier of treats. The standbys we love, like
melt-in-your-mouth scones and Devonshire cream, are still on the menu,
but the dessert tray now boasts flamingo-esque profiteroles and
cupcakes. And then theres the lovely little discount you receive for
bringing your movie ticket stub or wearing a pretty party hat.

An all Alice afternoon this Easter weekend will solidify your station as
Coolest Aunt Ever.

Mad Hatters Tea (adults $36, children $16) runs until April 30, 2010 at
The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, 900 West Georgia St., Vancouver,
