Yay! Time for my first ever dessert visit in NYC. I still remember the first "dinner" I ever had in the city of dreams was in this exact restaurant. I had heard so much about this especially from the movie, but I absolutely had to try it out for myself. It was truly everything I expected; the scenery, the excellent wait staff, and the New York flavor was all combined in this one restaurant.
Walking in ultimately felt so magical especially since I didn't have to wait even 5 minutes since there were many tables for one (I was a loner... still am :/). Anyways, the one thing you MUST ORDER is the frozzennn hot chocolate (idk if I spelled it right but the menu is spelled weirdly)... It's actually so divine with the rich chocolate underneath and whipped cream on top.I've tried many different ice cream sundaes, but ultimately I still go back to the original and the most classic, so I would definitely recommend only getting the classic first and seeing if the taste suits yourself.
Serendipity 3 also sells many other pastries, but honestly, they're not the best in New York. I would definitely try one to see if you like the sweetness but I think there are much better and cheaper options in New York. Often I look back at my times at serendipity 3, as I've been here countless of times. I would now honestly tell every NY visitor that you must at least try the frozen hot chocolate at least once in your stay at New York. But, don't expect too much concerning the taste since its only sub-par. I would definitely suggest not going during any breakfast/lunch/dinner times since the lines can get quite long especially for large parties. But, it is still one of my classic loves to this day~
