Cyndi: And after the show?
How about the famous Tea at the Savoy Hotel. The nice maitre'd finds a table for you just
before he stops accepting guests, and ushers you into the elegant Tea Room.
Dark:
The room is filled with small, white linened covered tables set for a traditional English
afternoon tea, with a bone china tea service, silver milk jugs and steaming t ea pots.
In the center stands a wrought-iron gazebo beneath a domed skylight where A finely dressed
musician is playing classical music on a grand piano. Her unobtrusive melodies provide a
fitting background for the murmurs of the people taking tea and the clink of cutlery.
Cyndi: You marvel at the elegance of the formal setting.
White painted walls with flowered wallpaper are adorned with paintings of mid twentieth
century entertainers: Dietrich, Monroe, Callas, Sinatra, Dean.
Dark0: The room is brightly lit by electric chandeliers,
occasional lamps, and the sunlight shining in through the ornate skylight above the gazebo.
Uniformed waiters and waitresses glide about serving tea, finger sandwiches, and sweet
pastries from silver trays and tall silver cake stands. The air is filled with quiet,
cool elegance.
Cyndi: You find the finger sandwiches to be scrumptious.
The pastries are decadent. And the tea is superb.
Ahh! What a wonderful way to cap off a lovely afternoon at the theatre!
