ABOUT THE EVENT
Founded in 1903
By Austrian confectioner Antoine Rumpelmayer and named in honor of his daughter-in-law, Angelina tearooms have been the favorite meeting place of Parisian gourmets for over a century. The Belle Epoque décor offers a distinct blend of elegance, charm and refinement. Amongst Angelina’s many visitors, Coco Chanel, Proust, as well as some of France’s greatest couturiers have passed through their tearooms.
Today Angelina remains a unique setting in which to enjoy the world-famous hot chocolate and signature Mont-Blanc pastry. Their secret recipes remain closely guarded after one hundred years...both can be found in our event’s menu!

"Lisa was great in securing all the things we wanted to do. She got a table for us at Quality Italian for window viewing of the Tgiving Parade- it was perfect. We saw a great Broadway show, great seats!! My children loved the early morning tour of FAO Schwarz. Priceless on Black Friday. Thank you Lisa & VIP yours!!"

We did the VIP Macy’s day parade experience in the Macy’s building, which also included a private before they open FAO Schwartz toy store tour. It was an amazing day my parents, two teenagers and my husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed our experience..

What Our Customers Are Saying
It’s hard to say what was our favorite part, as it was a terrific experience, overall! Seeing the Macy’s parade has been a lifelong dream, and it was fabulous from this location, and having the sidewalk roped off for us was a bonus! Seeing the balloons that close was simply marvelous!

Wonderful evening! A very special thing to experience while in NYC. Drinks were great, food was great and getting to see the tree was spectacular!

What Our Customers Are Saying
We spent a magical four days in NYC for Thanksgiving to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (a bucket list item!!) and went with YVP to help make the trip a great one. They made the trip not great but honestly expectational in every way possible. Our family of three all agreed that our experience ranked at the top of all of trips we’ve ever taken! I can’t recommend YVP enough and hope to use their services again in the future.
