If you’re visiting NYC with kids one of the most memorable places to grab brunch near Central Park is at Serendipity 3. The incredible Frrrozen Hot Chocolate (not a typo) is a treat that will have your littles grinning ear to ear. A little tip I learned while having my niece visit, start your morning here. Then use a walk through Central Park as a way to burn off the sugar rush and let your kiddo run wild while you wobble behind them.
In full transparency, the food at Serendipity 3 isn’t going to blow your mind, but the interior and experience make for a really fun time. It feels like you’re dining in an antique candy shop and again, the frozen hot chocolate is all your kids will be talking about for the next few weeks!
