Serendipity

Went out on the town after work Thursday the 4th. First to Cafe Classico for dinner. It was too hot to eat so I had a salad. The place was on 57th between 5th and 6th Ave and was ridiculously overpriced 1) because it's in midtown and 2) because it's kosher. I was not impressed. Next stop was Chicago City Limits, a midtown improv comedy club. For some reason the place was full of 8 year olds. It was terrible. And expensive. And there was a 2 drink minimum. Not impressed x2. Final stop: Serendipity, a swanky little cafe on the upper East Side. The wait to get in was about an hour and it was already 10:30. Expensive again, but worth it this time. I wasn't terribly impressed (x3) with the frozen hot chocolate (the house specialty) but the ice cream sunday with sinfully good hot fudge and a gooey piece of chocolate cake in it made up for the lack-luster drink. I couldn't finish everything, I went into sugar overload. It was a little like Fenton's in Oakland. Walked it off for a couple hours by Grand Central Station and made it home by 2AM. Have to go back to Serendipity sometime...when my wallet recovers. Total cost for the evening: ~$100.  ¶ 1:39 PM
