Worth it
  • Address225 E 60th St, New York, NY, 10022
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

There’s no shortage of great treats to be had in New York City, especially when it’s chilly out and thankfully calories don’t count on vacation or so I’m told. One of my personal favorite hot chocolates in NYC is the incredible Frrrozen Hot Chocolate (not a typo) from Serendipity. I know it’s weird, but give it a shot!

This unique NYC hot chocolate experience isn’t a secret by any stretch of the imagination. Heck, at this point it feels rather touristy, but you know what? It’s the best hot chocolate in NYC And this list doesn’t feel complete without mentioning this treat, so go all in!
