Name of cafe in NYC that sells frozen hot chocolate?

There are probably a few, but the one I am thinking of was shown on Great Hotels on the Travel Channel. It was in mid-town somewhere, I thought on 5th Ave near the start of Central Park but I could be mistaken. I can't even remember what episode it was, maybe the Waldorf?

That's it! How could I mistake Oprah for Samantha Brown? I just remembered it was on one of her favorite foods shows. I'll have to order the packets to taste test before my trip, otherwise I'll have to wait until May...

What part of Florida, mclaurie?
Jax has warmed up, I am happy to say. I could even stand a Frozen Hot Chocolate ;D

kcapuani,
It is sort of like a chocolate Slush..with whipped cream and shaved chocolate on top. Definitely gives one Brain Freeze! Enjoy!

Prepare to wait for a long time outside of the restaurant to be seated. The place is jam pack all the time esp on weekends.
It is near bloomingdales. Take the subway as if you are going to bloomingdales and walk several short blocks.

correction: it is not several short blocks. Depends on which exit you get out of, the shortest distance is more like one short block and half a long block.

The frozen hot chocolate is great. After seeing it on Oprah, I purchased it. Yes, it was expensive; I guess if you are Oprah, cost is not an issue. I wanted to buy "the real thing" so that I could make it and see if I could substitute like Godiva hot cocoa mix or something similar.

It is DELICIOUS!!. I made it just how they told you to on the chocolate from Serendipity--even bought vitamin D milk..yikes!! I believe that I can substitute another chocolate.

Tyr it you will love it.

Actually, the last remaining original owner of the restaurant published a cookbook with all of its specialities inside...including Frozzzzen Hot Chocolate.
