A Right Royal Afternoon Tea (Wear Your Hat!) @ Mansions on Fifth

It's the first day of the Britsburgh Festival and why not start with a right royal afternoon tea in one of the City Of Pittsburgh's finest, top notch establishments?  Join us at Mansions on Fifth and enjoy a sumptuous British afternoon tea.

This is a chance to dress up in style. Hats and fascinators are most welcome and encouraged.

We will toast Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, having celebrated her Sapphire Jubilee earlier this year.  Enjoy talks by two ladies who have delved into their family history and an entertaining discussion about Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle by Len Barcousky, historian and former writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

After your all done why not relax in the bar and enjoy our Britsburgh Cocktail. Light live music will entertain you. Not a bad afternoon at all!

About Mansions on Fifth:  Once home to one of Pittsburgh’s most prominent attorneys, Willis F. McCook, legal counsel to steel and coke magnate Henry Clay Frick. When you cross the threshold of the Mansions on Fifth Hotel, you enter another world – one of elegance, sophistication and opulence. Built in 1906, Mansions on Fifth is a glimpse into the past. It was a time where giants of the business world traversed Shadyside’s Fifth Avenue - “Millionaire’s Row” - on a daily basis. Names such as Carnegie, Mellon, Frick, Westinghouse and Heinz were among the leading citizens of the day.
