This Saturday I went to the most Pink Saturday restaurant, Serendipity
I moved to New York City in 1975 and I remember hearing about Serendipity just about from the my first days here. I don't know why, but I never made it there, even though I thought the specialty of the house, the frozen hot chocolate, sounded fabulous. Yesterday we had a mini-reunion of high school friends and I wanted to find somewhere fun and different for us to try. Finally after almost 48 years I made it to Serendipity.

After I made the reservation I started to read on-line reviews and just about cancelled the reservation. I read that the service was awful, the food wasn't very good and the frozen hot chocolate was mostly whipped cream. No, no and what's wrong with whipped cream? It wasn't a great restaurant, but it was a great day, lots of fun, and we loved the dessert. It wasn't all whipped cream and it was a perfect amount split three ways.

We especially liked the fun decor and atmosphere and the frozen hot chocolate. I do regret that it took me 48 years to finally get to Serendipity and hope for a return visit much sooner. If anyone is planning a visit to New York City and wants to split a frozen hot chocolate, please be in touch!
Even though summer has a few weeks to go, the week before Labor Day is the end of summer for me. It's a busy end of summer week ahead. I'll spend tomorrow with one of my high school friends who is still in town and get together with blog buddy, Wandering Wren at the end of the week. Before my visit with Wren, one of the highlights of the summer/year takes place, Betsy's daughter's wedding. Adding in physical therapy, a haircut, and a manicure, it's going to be one busy week, but a very happy busy week.
As ever, thanks for visiting and enjoy all the sweetness of the last of summer.

Looks and sounds like fun. Glad you made it and spending time with high school friends is always a good time. You do have a busy week coming up. Have a wonderful time at the wedding.

What a wonderful time to spend with long-time friends!
You have so very many options in NYC, it would be difficult to visit them all.
Thanks for your dedication and hard work in writing this blog
