Serendipity 3 - Good chocolate and celeb sightings too!

So a few of us from Case, two from Jersey including me, and two others from North Dakota, stopped by Serendipity 3 for dessert. It is located on 60th street between 2nd and 3rd Avenue in NYC.

The food is not overly expensive, but it has quite a reputation where the average wait could go at least 2-2 1/2 hours. It is New York's first coffee boutique. I believe you can only make reservations at least a day in advance after a certain time. The best way is to stop by, put your name on the list, then go shopping at Bloomingdale's nearby.

We only had the dessert, and the frrrozen hot chocolate or the peanut butter version are strongly recommended. But the rest of the food is not bad so it's worth the wait.

Saturday was definitely the day where you can find a celeb. Perhaps the biggest hint was a rolls royce parked (with the driver waiting) outside of the restaurant. Who could be the owners of such a car??? It was Jay-Z and Beyonce! They were sitting two tables from us, and it took us a few minutes before we realised who they were. They left before we got our desserts, but two couples managed to get pictures of Beyonce. Unfortunately, Jay-Z did not get any.

If you ever visiting NYC, stop by Serendipity 3!

Update: Confirmed by Page Six of the New York Post. Sweet!

Haha,

A Jay-Z sighting? Was he drinking any Cristal? ;)

Next time you see him, tell him he stole his diamond hand gesture from our h.s. crew in Brooklyn (which originally stood for The Triumvirate), but that's a story for another day.

I'll be sure to check out Serendipity the next time I go home to visit.
