Review »

One sip of Serendipity 3’s signature Frozen Hot Chocolate and you might be able to rival Meg Ryan’s performance in When Harry Met Sally. Lose yourself in a massive bowl filled with no fewer than fourteen types of chocolate; you’ll be so engulfed in your dessert, it’s likely you will never even notice the slew of celebs who frequent this Upper East Side attraction. The walls are decorated with years of nostalgia, and you’ll sit beneath Tiffany lamps as you peruse a full menu accompanied by a page of sweets, most of them made of ice cream. For more than 50 years, New Yorkers have visited Serendipity 3 – as children, on dates, and eventually with their own families, coming back to one of the sweetest spots in Manhattan. Movies including Serendipity and The Royal Tenenbaums have helped put the place on the map, luring tourists away from Times Square and into this cozy nook for some of the sippable sins or even a souvenir. Forget that snow globe and bring your loved ones home some Serendipity 3 Frrrozen Hot Chocolate Body Icing. Don’t even think about a sample. It smells that good. Serendipity itself is a splurge, but if you’re feeling extra deep in the pockets, have a Golden Opulence Sundae. Served in a Baccarat Crystal bowl with ice cream made of the finest vanilla beans and candied fruit, topped with gold leafs, this sundae tops out at $1,000. Consider it an investment; you get to keep the bowl.

Serendipity 3 review

Reviewed by family on August 16, 2005

family's rating:

"My 10-year-old daughter, Katie, had seen Serendipity 3 in some movies and was dying to see it for herself. So we went for ice cream one afternoon, and it is truly delicious. Katie was pumped up for some celebrity sightings, and was a little let down when we didn’t see anyone recognizable. She got over it after she received her ice cream, though. The Frozen Hot Chocolate is a ridiculous dessert that chocoholics like me will absolutely fall in love with. The place was crowded, but the décor is so charming that we didn’t mind at all. Definitely don’t leave New York without stopping by Serendipity for a sweet fix."
