I would like to mention that Serendipity is not always considered a "tourist trap".
We often go there in the late afternoon for tea.They have good Earl Grey tea,served in little pots and toast made from their delicious toasted Irish soda bread.
They also make good lunches, during the week,we stop in for a bite,I like the chicken sandwich.
The best times to go are the odd hours when "tourists" might not be thronging in, late or early are better times.

I think my impression of Serendipity as a 'tourist trap' was because I went for the first time soon after the Cusack/Beckinsale movie of the same name, which created long lines and such.
Much of that seems to have died down, though the place is still popular and crowded (since it's so tiny).

Well it sure seems Serendipity gets the blue ribbon!! I've heard of it but have never been (I heard there can be a long wait...) so will definitely be indulging there.
And thanks for the Googie's suggestion too - I love to try places that are less well known.

jan-that most certainly was a good reason to see Serendipity as touristy!
We have gone there for so many years, and I swear! the Frozen Hot Chocolates are still as good as the first one I ever had!
My kids used to always have their birthday parties there, the waiters used to really get into it with us
It is much more popular and busy than before but really a great place to try at least once

It is a small restaurant,they have an upstairs,but the downstairs is the part that most people like the best.you will see neighborhood people,tourists,celebs,the waiters are usually a hoot and the owner is usually there keeping an eye on things.He is interesting, been there for a long time, writes books, can be charming and interesting if he has time
They have a wacky and yummy menu.
They make great desserts.They also make chili and hot dogs!
We like going in the late afternoon, 3-ish or late late, after dinner and dessert crowds.During the summer, you might try a Sunday lunchtime.Call ahead if you want and just ask how crowded they are, they will tell you if you should wait.
Enjoy~
