B – Union Square Station
6 Stops, 14 mins
We took the subway from Canal Street to Union Square, aiming to have dinner at Serendipity 3 which is located along 60th street, between 2nd and 3rd Ave. However, the restaurant was packed and we were placed on the waiting list (estimated an hour of waiting). We decided to explore the surroundings rather than to wait in the restaurant. We spent the next ½ hour shopping at Boomingdale’s.
19:15 PM Serendipity 3
A – Bloomingdale’s

We were back at Serendipity 3. It was so cold out there that everyone in the queue was squeezing into the restaurant’s waiting area.
Finally… It’s DINNER time!
The huge menu.

All ready for dinner.

B – Dylan’s Candy Bar
Walk 0.12 KM, 1 min
Walk over to Dylan’s Candy Bar, intending to have some dessert but the place was already closed for the day. Anyway, we were too full for anything.
Time to retire for the day. It’s cheaper to take the cab as compared to the subway since our hotel is not that far away and there are 4 of us.
