Serendipity & Sweets in NYC

New York City is a melting pot of culture, entertainment, and a seemingly endless variety of food, from restaurants to food carts and bakeries. The city is on top of its game when it comes to sweets, as well. The temptation of devouring delicious desserts and sugary confections before a meal is constantly on one's mind when surrounded by eye-pleasing treats on nearly every corner of the city. With everything from ice cream, cupcakes, pies and cakes, to candy, here are three sweet eats (including the infamous Serendipity) one cannot miss out on when in NYC. 

SERENDIPITY

One might as well skip dinner and head straight for dessert when visiting Serendipity. Known for its famous frozen hot chocolate (pictured above), the cozy restaurant has been opened almost 60 years. After an appetizer of frozen hot chocolate, one can't pass up a signature drugstore sundae overflowing with three heaping scoops of ice cream and any toppings you want. Be sure to share because these things are huge! Don't worry if hot chocolate isn't your thing, there are a number of frozen drinks that taste just as good!

CRUMBS

As one of the first bakeries to hit the market with the cupcake fad, Crumbs hasn't fallen short when it comes to making the perfect cupcake. Pleasing cupcake lovers from around the world, the bakery is unique, offering oversized cupcakes with fillings in dozens of flavors. Once you try one you will be coming back to try them all. Grab one to go or sit down and enjoy each bite right at the shop. 

DYLAN'S CANDY BAR

One can't help but feel like a kid again when visiting Dylan's Candy Bar. Offering over 7,000 types of candy, there is sure to be something to please everyone's sweet tooth. A section of the store even organizes candy by color for those who love certain flavors. The store not only offers candy, but has its own fudge counter and cafe, with everything from ice cream to cupcakes and candy cocktails. Don't forget that special someone and pick up some signature Dylan's Candy Bar candy as a gift!
