It was a different time. Ladies wore gloves, hats and nice attire to luncheons at the Womanï¿½s Exchange. Shillitoï¿½s provided a cosmopolitan environment for its patrons, while Mullaneï¿½s was the perfect place to sip and socialize. The popular Good Morning Show radio program hosted by charming Bob Braun, and later Nick Clooney, was broadcast from McAlpinï¿½s Tea Room.

Author Cynthia Kuhn Beischel brings the Queen Cityï¿½s bygone downtown tea rooms back to life and shares more than one hundred beloved recipes.
