Still feel a little sting from the NYC MTA fare hikes? Well, your metro card might get you more than you bargained for this season! Every Sunday this month you can take part in a costume party tea party aboard the Nastalgia Express!

A group of costume-clad commuters will be turning this subway ride into a soiree! Tour guides from Levys’ Unique New York will host a free, unsanctioned “Vintage Tea Party” on an antique subway train. Commuters are encouraged to come dressed in their vintage best to sip tea and dine on dainty cookies, and “everything else you’d expect from a late-19th century parlor-room drama,” according to organizers.

This is the second “Vintage Tea Party” (the first one took place in 2004). This event will take place on a NYC Transit 1930s train, with wicker seats and ceiling fans, on the V line every Sunday this month as a holiday treat for straphangers. If you’re interested in attending, bring your old-timey garb and $2.25 subway fare to the Second Avenue/Lower East Side station on any Sunday this month at 2:00 pm. Look for similarly vintage-clad party-goers waiting on the uptown platform. Participants will ride the “V” train (apparently, for vintage) to Queens and back. Revelers are encouraged to bring tea and snacks for sharing.
