My 7-year-old granddaughter had just arrived in the city from Den Haag. Before flying across the pond, she had studied Serendipity’s menu with her parents to decide which treat to indulge in. She chose the unicorn bliss sundae that contained rainbow-striped cake, confetti sprinkles, a sugar cone, ice cream, cherries, whipped cream and cream cheese icing.

Since Serendipity has a minimum, we ordered food—not something I’d recommend. We ordered one footlong ($18.95) with French fries, another footlong topped with mac n’ cheese ($25.95) and their unremarkable nachos with Tex Mex chili, queso, jalapeños and pico de gallo with added guac ($22.45).

We didn’t eat much, so most of the food was packed for us to take home, as was the sundae, where she only made a dent.

When we got home, I repacked the sundae in a plastic tub and tossed it in the freezer. She was allowed to enjoy some of hers every day, finishing it on the final day of her visit with a big smile and a look of satisfaction!

I highly recommend taking grandkids for a sundae at Serendipity.
