Serendipity 3

225 East 60th Street (2nd-3rd)

Tucked into a cozy brownstone, Serendipity 3 is the quintessential American soda fountain that still reigns supreme after over 61 years. Happy people gather at marble-topped ice-cream parlor tables for burgers and foot-long hot dogs, country meat loaf with mashed potatoes, salads, sandwiches and pastas. The restaurant’s signature is Frozen Hot Chocolate, but other crowd pleasers include celestial carrot cake, lemon icebox pie, and anything with hot fudge. Serendipity 3 is a charmer appreciated by adults and kids alike. Open daily: Mon.-Thurs. & Sun. 11:30 am – midnight; Fri. 11:30 am – 1 am; Sat. 11:30 am – 2 am.
