SERENDIPITY 3

'Serendipity 3', often written 'Serendipity III', is a restaurant in Manhattan known for its foot-long hot dogs and frozen drinks, particularly its trademark "Frrrozen Hot Chocolate". It is named for 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 3 also sells eclectic goods, from Tiffany lamps to children's toys.
Andy Warhol was a regular before he was well known and used to pay his tab with a drawing.
There was a Serendipity with the same menu in Boston, Massachusetts, for a number of years, but it has since closed.
