It's coronation day at The Mansion at Glen Cove. The venue's annual "Breakfast with Princess" event, happening this winter, will include a breakfast buffet, a princess performance, photo-ops and a "coronation ceremony" for little ones.
This year's breakfast has been extended to two weekends — Jan. 28-29 and Feb. 4-5 — “due to the popularity of the event," says Cheryl Tiao, special project manager at the Mansion. "And some princesses that we hired are different from before, in order to increase variety,” she adds.
The princesses who are present vary each day, with the Snow Sisters inspired by "Frozen" (Anna and Elsa) appearing on Saturday, Jan. 28 and Sunday, Jan. 29, and Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" and Rapunzel appearing on Saturday, Feb. 4, and Cinderella and Rapunzel on Sunday, Feb. 5.
Tiao adds it's highly encouraged for guests to come dressed up as their own royals. “Our little guests always dress up as princesses; we would see a lot of little princesses from a variety of stories on the event days.”
There will be a meet and greet with the princesses, plus a story time and a singalong. Additionally, each child will receive a one-of-a-kind trading card souvenir. As for the food and drinks being served, options will include assorted muffins, bagels, danishes, croissants, sliced fresh fruit, smoked salmon, Belgian waffles, yogurt parfaits, omelets, home fries, sausage, bacon, french toast, hot chocolate, coffee, tea, juice, and soft drinks.
