Guess rats like eating gold too...
A restaurant that charges $25,000 for a dessert is dealing with a problem common to greasy spoons.
A week after Serendipity 3 announced it had achieved the world record for the most expensive dessert, the famed Upper East Side ice-cream parlor and restaurant has been closed by the health department for a rodent and insect infestation.
Two laminated "Closed For Renovation" signs were turning away customers yesterday at 225 E. 60th St., but down a set of stairs and behind a metal grating, health department fliers were visible that gave a different reason for the closure.
An inspector from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene observed "a live mouse, mouse droppings in multiple areas of the restaurant, fruit flies, house flies, and more than 100 live cockroaches," the department said. The restaurant failed a previous inspection on October 22.
On November 7, the restaurant was celebrating the innovation of the "Frrrozen Haute Chocolate," a blend of 28 cocoas, 5 grams of edible 23-karat gold, and a rare truffle in a golden goblet embedded with diamonds. The lavish confection is served with a golden spoon and comes with an 18-karat gold bracelet embedded with 1 karat of white diamonds.
