Serendipity 3

Pros: The frozen hot chocolate and wonderful Veggie steaks, amazing desserts
Cons: Crowded

I have thoroughly enjoyed Serendipidity's for over 25 years and it is still one of my favorite places in the world. It is located down the street from Bloomingdales and is a short hop from Grand Central Station on the Lexington Subway line. There is also...

Pros: The food, the ambience, and the service
Cons: pricey

All I can say for Serendipity 3 is WOW. From the minute you walk in, the eclectic mix of items in the really cute general store makes you wish you had millions so you could buy them all! The wait is a bit long (about 15 -25 minutes on average) but...

Pros: Desserts, Small Shop in the front
Cons: The wait to get in from time to time

Serendipity 3, a small restaurant made famous by being in movies such as One Fine Day with Michelle Pfieffer, was always famous among the many New York City locals and tourist who decide to try their absolutely wonderful food and phenomenal...

Pros: Heavenly desserts, charming Victorian decor
Cons: Expensive (but it's NYC after all...)

After eating a mediocre Peruvian meal in NYC last week, some friends suggested that we spice up our night with dessert at Serendipity 3. What a great suggestion! The evening was saved.

The menu was sort of reminiscent of a Mollie Katzen...

Pros: Best Sundaes
Cons: Hard to get in

I went to Serendipity just to have dessert, and I had the best brownie sundae and strawberry cheesec ...

Pros: great food, lively atmosphere
Cons: Long lines and not quick service always

This is definitely the restaurant for those that like to have fun while they eat. Its a very lively place with lots of young people and creative dishes too. My favorite dish and the most famous thing they serve are there frozen hot chocolates. They...

Pros: Frozen hot chocolate, decor, large menu, gifts in front and celebs frequent the place.
Cons: Lines

As you enter the restaurant you will be surrounded by a multitude of toys, dolls and other gadgets. This is only the start. Then you make your way to the host and put your name down for a wait. I think that the wait is well worth it for the frozen hot...

Pros: The food is great, it's worth the wait.
Cons: The wait....It can be very long.

I have been to Serendipity four times and have learned a few tricks that I will pass on. First try and make a reservation, they only take phone reservations and they only take a few per a certain time, from what I saw they take about five per hour. If ...

Pros: Great treats, open late, cool decor.
Cons: Inattentive staff who don't like working late.

If you ever want a chocolate fix in New York City, Serendipity is the place to go. The deserts are all overdone and far too large to actually eat. Gooey is the word that comes to mind here. Their frozen hot chocolate desert is well worth a try and big...

Pros: Can anyone say desserts?
Cons: VERY crowded most nights.

Serendipity 3 on East 60th St. in New York City has been a favorite place of mine to go for years. I do not go often, but when I do, I find I am always satisfied. Serendipity's offers a full menu, but they are most known for their desserts,...

Pros: Cute place
Cons: Ice cream only okay.

I love this place - - it emphasizes artistic crazyness in a confined space, it uses creative names for its menu items, and most of all it places eye candy (or "eye scream") everywhere around you.

From the moment I walked into...

Pros: Desserts
Cons: Wait sometimes

Serendipity is a small place, but has a nice atmosphere. Prices are a bit high, but not much different than that of most other restaurants in NYC. I highly recommend all of the desserts, which are served in generous portions. As far as actually hot food...

Pros: The Ice Cream
Cons: It's a tourist trap

I have only been to Serendipity 3 once, but I have to say that I loved it. I had so much fun! It had a festive ambiance and a lively atmosphere. The waiters were awesome and served you at the right pace. Now, I didn't eat the food there, but I did have a...

Pros: Excellent Dessert
Cons: small tables, occasionally long waits

Serendipity 3 is a quaint place situated in Manhattan's upper east side. The lines tend to be long but the food is great and the dessert even better.

Serendipity 3 has an interesting menu with interesting offerings. The dishes sometimes have...

Pros: Orgasmic deserts
Cons: long wait, small place

I have never had a real "meal" at Serendipity's. Instead, I usually just go for desert. And boy, do they know desert!
The classic Serendipity desert is Frozen Hot Chocolate, which sounds odd, but is so good, they patented it! I usually...
