This rather hazy phone-cam shot is of Frrrozen Hot Chocolate from Serendipity 3 in Georgetown. If you've never had it, imagine rich, icy chocolate milk. The cafe's namesake is a landmark eatery in NYC, not far from the perhaps even more famous restaurant Le Cirque. For a while, after the release of a cheesy, formulaic movie of the same name, Serendipity became a fashionable hangout, making frequent appearances in magazines trying to convince you that you're no different from celebrities. You both eat hot dogs! Ah, but Serendipity's hot dogs run around $14. The Georgetown location has been rumored for years, before I even moved to DC, and it finally opened on Memorial Day weekend. The food is delicious, though overpriced. And the interior really is gorgeous--I'm contemplating getting lighted signs for my walls. And, though it's not someplace I'll go to often, it's a nice place to spend a great afternoon gossiping with friends and contemplating why John Cusack's movies always suck.

Your comment sent me to Wikipedia to look up John Cusack's movies. You are 98 percent right. But, he was in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, a good movie from a great book, and Being John Malkovich, a very creative movie. The rest look pretty dreadful.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Jack! Those are the only two I like too. I'm not sure if Being John Malkovich quite makes up for Must Love Dogs, but it is a really great movie, right up there with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, one of only 2 good Jim Carey movies.
ReplyDeleteI didn't check up Jim Carrey's movie list, but I thought the Truman Show was pretty good and definitely different. I don't know if I ever saw Eternal Sunshine . . . And lots of people like him as Grinch. I might be a little warmer about Carrey than you are.
ReplyDeleteBesides Eternal Sunshine, The Truman Show was the other Carrey movie I enjoyed! We seem to have eerily similar taste in films, Jack!
ReplyDeleteDo you have at least two copies of To Kill a Mockingbird, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, What About Bob? and Groundhog Day, Citizen Kane and Forrest Gump?
