Fancy and Nasty: Serendipity 3 Shut Down

Serendipity 3, the high-end Manhattan eatery, has been shut down by health officials because of disgusting conditions. As the AP reports, the restaurant was closed Wednesday night after failing inspection: more than 100 live roaches, live mice, mice feces and flies were found on site after inspections were carried out on two separate dates this month.

Customers have complained about two-hour lines, rude hosts and mediocre service before, but there was never any question about the sanitation of the establishment until now. The swanky reputation of the restaurant comes from its being host to major movies such as One Fine Day and Trust The Man, as well as the hoity-toity $1,000 Golden Opulence Sunday, only available with a 48-hour reservation. And only recently they had unveiled an absurdly expensive $25,000 ice cream dish, the most expensive dessert ever sold. Overall it should be stressed that while the irony of the restaurant’s name at this time is amusing, excessive explanation of the joke is an act of triteness.
