Serepidity

When someone says Serendipity, a movie might pop into your head. However, it's the restaurant called Serendipity 3 that's featured in the movie that made it famous for me. Once you walk down the stairs, you see all the tables have these soda fountain type chairs and the decor is whimsical. They serve food, but I went for their one famous dessert... frozen hot chocolate! It is somewhat like the texture of a milkshake, but with ice chips in it. The chocolate flavor tastes more like a chocolate malt than a milkshake. It is served in a bowl and topped with a healthy dose of delicious whipped cream and freshly grated chocolate. It's so delicious, but something that you have to share! It's pretty addictive and definitely makes everyone's heads turn when they bring it out. Whenever you order one, someone at another table will ask you what it is. They have other flavors like mint and peanut butter chocolate, but we decided to stick to the original. It makes you feel like you are at an old school soda shop because you are sharing it with someone. I have to day that it's probably one of my favorite things and something that I need to work on recreating at home.

Basically, you need to share all of their desserts. This is the size of their sundaes and it's not a joke. It's like everything is larger than life. This was just plain vanilla ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, and of course a cherry. The hot fudge was more like partially melted chocolate that wasn't too sweet...definitely not the plain old fudge out of a squeeze bottle. When you order dessert, just know that you won't be finishing it. They are so good and reasonably priced. Though this place is a bit hidden, it is definitely worth going to. Plus it's open until midnight, so it's a great late night find. There may be a short wait, but I can guarantee you it's worth it! Make sure to stop by and try anything off the dessert menu because it all looks so delicious!
