NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Manhattan restaurant that unveiled a
record-breaking $25,000 dessert last week has been forced to shut
its doors temporarily due to an infestation of mice and
cockroaches.
Serendipity 3 on the Upper East Side failed its second consecutive
health inspection in a month on Wednesday night after health
officials found a live mouse, mouse droppings in multiple places,
flies and dozens of live cockroaches, the Heath Department
said.
"We're rectifying it as quickly as we can," said owner Steven
Bruce, adding the restaurant would then be allowed to reopen.
Serendipity 3 set a Guinness world record on November 7 for the
most expensive dessert when it partnered with luxury jeweler
Euphoria New York to create "Frrozen Haute Chocolate," a blend of
28 cocoas fused with 0.2 ounces of edible 23-karat gold.
It comes with an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white
diamonds at the base of the goblet. The sundae is topped with
whipped cream covered with more gold and a side of La Madeline au
Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a
pound.
The desert is a more decadent take on Serendipity's $8.50 "Frrrozen
Hot Chocolate," which the talk show host Oprah Winfrey once
endorsed by saying it made her want to "dance on the chandeliers."
Bruce also has a $1,000 ice cream sundae on the menu called Golden
Opulence.
