Everything about Serendipity 3 totally explained
Serendipity 3, often written
Serendipity III, is a popular restaurant in the Upper East Side of
Manhattan.. While the restaurant is known for its foot-long
hot dogs and frozen drinks, particularly its trademark "Frrrozen
Hot chocolate", they offer a full menu.

Serendipity was named after the
three legendary princes of the island once known as Serendip (now
Sri Lanka), from which the
18th century writer Sir Horace Walpole coined
serendipity.
Serendipity has been popular since the beginning.
Marilyn Monroe frequently patronized the restaurant, and
Andy Warhol was a regular before he was well-known. He often used to pay for his tab with a drawing. (sweet Serendipity 2003)
First Lady Jackie O was also a frequent guest and once even tried to buy the recipe for the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate for an event she was throwing. Though the owner offered to come and make the frozen drink for her himself, he flatly refused to give her the recipe. The recipe can now be found in Sweet Serendipity, a book of recipes and history sold in the general store located inside the restaurant.
The general store offers other memorabilia such as T-Shirts and mugs, as well as serendipitous novelty items.
In 2004, Serendipity celebrated their 50 anniversary by introducing a record-breaking Sundae, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive dessert, at a $1000.
Movies
Serendipity 3 has appeared prominently in at least two major movies. The movie most associated with the restaurant is its namesake
Serendipity. Released in
2001, it centers around a couple that meet by chance while shopping at Bloomingdale's, and share dessert at the restaurant later that same night.
One Fine Day, released in
1996, also has a scene in the restaurant, featuring the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate.
Trust the Man, released in
2006, includes a scene of David Duchovny's character being invited to Serendipity 3 by a potential love interest, and then at the restaurant on the first floor eating.
