Serendipity 3
I was just browsing through Urbanspoon.com's data base and found Serendipity 3! Serendipity 2 was closed down due to a rodent infestation, and I'm not too sure why the first one closed down, but all I know is Serendipity is at it again with its 3rd try! This will be a quick review as Serendipity is as simple as Max Brener but with a slightly different feel to it. Serendipity serves giant portions of mediocre, overpriced food and the only reason people go there is for the desserts which are massive and a cavity waiting to happen. Serendipity is famous for their giant, massive ice cream sundaes that can be shared amongst 3 people, but most people order one for themselves (this shows how fat Americans are). Like I said, their hot food is mediocre at best but the portions are massive (such as the yard long hot dog) so people who don't know a thing about food love it. Serendipity is also a HUGE tourist trap which is why there's always an hour wait for any party bigger than 2. Unless you're a tourist or under the age of 14, there's really no reason to visit Serendipity as the food is awful, the decor is like a slightly better version of a diner and the sundaes are good but not worth the hour wait. For good sundaes with shorter waits, go to Max Brener or even DBGB (but make a reservation at DBGB otherwise the wait may be even worse than Serendipity).
