Serendipity 3 | New York City, USA
What
dining venue can keep a couple of travel bunnies in a line for in
excess of 2.5 hours in the cold and dark of night? The answer
is Serendipity 3 on the Upper East side!
This
dessert place has always been on my list of places to go not just for
the amazing sounding food but because of the magic décor inside.
Now I knew that the venue would not take reverberations (I mean –
this is NYC) but when we arrived late one evening and were told to
leave our name at the door and come back in 2-3 hours I almost fell
off (my imaginary) chair! Knowing that there was not much open
in the area at that time of night and it being close to freezing
outside, I decided that we would strike up a friendly conversation
with the lady manning the door (who I vividly remember to be more
like a Christmas Grinch keeping away all the excited patrons from
entering the store). This was the best move we could have made
as it meant that we could wait in the air-conditioned warmth just
aside the inner door and I am sure we also sneaked a couple of places
up the list.
Inside,
it was like Disneyland in a restaurant and with the place made up for
the festive season it was particularly beautiful. After being
shown to a seat upstairs, we took a token glance at the mammoth menu
and decided on a Frrrozen Hot Chocolate ($8.95USD), a
Forbidden Broadway Sundae ($15USD)
which came with chocolate blackout cake, ice cream, hot fudge topped
with whipped cream and a Serendipitous Hot Chocolate
($6USD). Now size counts for everything when it comes to desert
and Serendipity 3 does not disappoint.
As
we walked out of the store at close to closing time I really was
feeling the buzz of all the sugar from the desserts and I can
honestly say that the wait is worth it!
Total
bunnie dollars spent $29.95USD (excluding tips)
