Sept. Gaslight is in the mail; a few seats remain for the Downton Tea

With the Dowager’s wit, Alisa DuPuy reveals the real history behind the popular British TV drama.

Labor Day is behind us, the first Gaslight News after the summer break is in the mail, and here is news of the first of three upcoming events you may want to get in on.

We open with a HSR sponsored Downton Abbey Inspired Tea at The New Leaf Tearoom Sunday, Sept. 28. The captivating Alisa DuPuy returns to regale Downton Abbey fans with a Dowager Countess’ perspective on life in the manor house.

Your choice of two brewed teas accompany menu items such as Matthew Crawley’s “Death by Chocolate “ Cake, imaginatively named after cast characters to add to the fun.

The elegance of The New Leaf’s 1910 Tea Room may just transport you back to another place and time, at least for an afternoon.

Here’s the publicity flyer and event particulars.
