More than a mere coffee shop—more of an ice cream<br />
parlor on steroids—Serendipity is synonymous with<br />
fun. Since 1954, its menu of outrageous desserts—<br />
including their signature frozen hot chocolate—and fun<br />
food, served in a Manhattan townhouse amid exuberant<br />
Victorian decorations, has charmed children and their<br />
parents, not to mention celebrities from Andy Warhol to<br />
Beyoncé.<br />

from <strong>The</strong> New York Times, Daniel marries the warmth<br />
and accessibility of a neighborhood restaurant with a<br />
contemporary French menu inspired by the seasons and<br />
the market. Recently re-opened following a complete<br />
redecoration, the restaurant’s striking neoclassical<br />
architecture has been artfully refreshed with the addition<br />
of contemporary furnishings and finishes.<br />

A mainstay for <strong>The</strong>atre District Italian food since opening<br />
in 2004, La Masseria was honored by Esquire as one<br />
of “America’s Best New Restaurants.” Since then they<br />
have cultivated quite a captive audience and reservations<br />
can be a little bit tricky but they hold certain tables until<br />
mid-afternoon for concierge reservations. So, if a guest is<br />
craving a pre-theatre Italian feast, this is the place! (Just<br />
be sure to call ahead.)<br />
