After watching travel channel and seeing the most expensive ice cream set by the guinness world records at Serendipity I said I'd like to come and visit the place (not to eat the $1000 ice cream on golden goblet and with golden spoon but to actually feel the place)
Serendipity was defined as the art of making happy discoveries or finding the unexpectedly pleasant by chance. It was said to be the first coffee house botique in New York. It was an ice cream parlor slash coffee house slash general store and botique. And yes the chandeliers are said to be made up of charms of tiffany glass.
Along with my Aunt and my husband we went there awhile ago, after waiting for twenty minutes outside plus another fifteen minutes we were finally escorted to our table. The place was cozy and I was really mesmerized by all these tifanny hanging over our heads. I was dressed up with only two layers because I assumed that it was going to be a mild day as predicted and I do planning of ordering ice cream because after all it was known as the best ice cream parlor. Funny because after waiting too long outside I felt cold and I know I need to order a hot drink. And so there was the mochaccino. I am a coffee addict and yes I did enjoy there mochaccino with their own brew of rich chocolate, and aromatic espresso, with a topsy turvey whipped cream pear.
Over all, it was okey. I enjoy the place and my coffee but not so much the food. The menu was reasonably priced from hamburgers, pastas, soups, sandwhiches, cakes and ice creams. The line was worth the wait, after all it is Serendipity!
It was located at:
225 East 60th Streetbetween 2nd and 3rd AvenuesNew York, NY 10022
BTW I do adviced you make reservations first to avoid the waiting time.
