Most restaurants rest on their savory menus. Not at Serendipity 3, a loud, kid-in-a-candy-store sort of a place that is fashioned after a vintage soda parlor. Decorated with Tiffany lamps, stained-glass windows, marble-topped round tables, and a fun boutique up front, this is one restaurant where desserts rule the roost. Sure, you can grab sandwiches, burgers, salads, and the like, but really, this is one place to have dessert for dinner. Monster-sized sundaes, gooey chocolate layer cake, mountain-sized cheesecake, and the signature frozen hot chocolate—a birdbath-sized chocolate seducer—are great dinner dishes. Who needs protein?
