Manhattan transplant Serendipity 3 is probably best known for its Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, a goblet-size drink topped with a mound of whipped cream. Large or small, either size commands respect, for this makes for a perfect meal-opener. Or closer. Famous for its opulent sundaes and calorie-dense desserts, Serendipity’s kitchen pays attention to savory fare too, and you’ll find a foot-long hot dog (really) for the lightest meal or an array of burgers for bigger appetites (try the sweet potato fries), and for the most serious consideration, roast chicken, beef ribs and skirt steak with frites. But the dessert selection is the real prize of the day. For a cool $77, you can order the “Serendipity D.C. Treasure Chest” sundae, ostensibly heaped up for four people, but why not try it solo, as it contains ice cream, cookies, berries and cakes. Of course, smaller sundaes, cheesecakes, pies and cakes are part of the menu as well.
