Learn History Through Fiction: Frrrozen Hot Chocolate

Andy Warhol had a sweet tooth. His favorite place to satisfy it was Serendipity 3, an antique-filled café on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, where his indulgence of choice was Frrrozen Hot Chocolate. The sweet confection was made of 14 different kinds of chocolate melted and blended with ice, topped with whipped cream and chocolate curls, and served with a straw in a footed cut-glass bowl. Sixty-five years after opening and still popular with celebrities, tourists, and everyday folks looking to splurge, Serendipity 3 is now considered a New York landmark. Read more about Andy Warhol and New York City in A Brain. A Heart. The Nerve. (see NOVELS).
