Everybody's just mad about Alice, and Tim Burton is the most recent auteur to take this classic Lewis Carroll tale on in film form, slated for a Spring 2010 release. But Wonderland and movie theaters aren't the only places to find Alice; oh no, friends. Alice is right here among us...all over New York City! Take a peek down the rabbit hole with me? Excuses, excuses. I don't care what you're late for. This will only take a moment...

Alice's Tea Cup

102 W 73rd St Frnt 1, New York, NY 10023

Alice’s Tea Cup, now spreading like wildfire across Manhattan with three “chapters”, has become the tea house of choice for those very fond of tea in NYC.

The Mad Hatter

360 3rd Ave Apt Frnt, New York, NY 10016

The Mad Hatter Saloon in Chelsea is just a playing card fling from Broadway Alley where Barnum and Bailey once kept their circus elephants! With a charming outdoor seating area, you can pretend you’re at high tea and sip something a spot stronger. “Just a half cup if you don’t mind.”

" Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice; " but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever say in my life!" - Alice

Tea and Sympathy Inc

108 Greenwich Ave, New York, NY 10011

Before Alice’s Tea Cup there was Tea and Sympathy, the impossibly British and cozy cavern down in Greenwich Village. You’ll feel like singing “twinkle twinkle little bat” after tasting one of their scones and you’ll probably leave with something Anglo-themed from the adjoining shoppe. Cheers.

"Contrariwise...if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic." - Tweedledee


A bridge between the United Nations and Congress, and committed to “patching up” humanitarian crises the world over, The Humpty Dumpty Institute is very much rooted in reality, cold and hard.

The yarn lends itself to a dark scarf indeed with EA’s Alice video game.

The Museum of Natural History is conveniently located not far at all from Alice’s Tea Cup Chapter 1, and is home to a rare skeleton of the long-extinct Dodo Bird.

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland Official Trailer

The Burton Players assemble yet again with a few new faces in the mix for a Disney/Burton take on Alice. This guidespotter is curious, and for now, just curious.

Teany

90 Rivington St, New York, NY 10002

Moby’s restaurant is temporarily closed due to a small fire…but when they do reopen, Teany has veggie delights and delectable teas. This guidespotter is a big fan of the blueberry white iced tea.

Alice Underground: The Way Out

50th street and Eighth Ave. New York, NY 10019

When you’re underground, the sights and smells of New York City can overwhelm the senses. Artist Liliana Porter has made your visit (or commute) a little brighter at 50th Street with an Alice mosaic called “The Way Out”.

"Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast" - The Queen

Jefferson Airplane: White Rabbit

Oh, “you’ve just had some kind of mushroom” all right…If you’re on a date that’s going significantly worse than he/she thinks it’s going, suggest karaoke and sign on to deliver the kind of chem croon that shatters every beaker (carafe) in the bar. Guaranteed to disenchant.

"Sentence first -- verdict afterwards." - The Queen

Looking Glass Theater

422 W 57th St, New York, NY 10019

This guidespotter used to live on the very same block as The Looking Glass Theater, cleverly housed underground on West Fifty Seventh Street. The theater produced at The Looking Glass seems to have a fairly singular focus: the “X” chromosome. You dig?

Alice Lidell, the inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s beloved books. Certainly not blonde, Mr. Disney.
