Ways to celebrate the royal wedding

NEW YORK

Spectators will be able to flood the streets in /*Greenwich Village*/ for a bash that will include breakfast at Lyon as well as music and dancers throughout the day.

/*Tea & Sympathy*/ is one of the restaurants that will be organizing the event.

"We're all going to wear hats and the boys will have on morning suits and we'll call them ushers for the day. We're expecting a lot of people on this block," says Nicky Perry, owner of Tea & Sympathy.

Others who are anticipating the big day can check into the /*Loews Regency Hotel*/ on the /*Upper East Side*/.

There will be a wake-up call for the early morning wedding and room service that includes a mini wedding cake.

"I think a lot of people are going to be at home in bed and instead you can get your girlfriends and stay a night in the hotel. Take a day off and just hang out. We thought it was something fun," says Lark-Marie Anton of Loews.

Weddingchannel.com suggests preparing scones, jam, and tea which are known as typical British fare.

"We've all loved everything British, everything from their décor to their food. It's been so popular," says Sarah Newell of the website.

"It's a wedding so it's a really special time and everyone is really excited," she adds.

It is all set to take place on April 29th, be sure to save the date.
