A NYC restaurant that introduced a whopping $25,000 dessert last week has been forced to shut its doors temporarily due to a mice and cockroaches problem.

Serendipity 3 the Upper East Side failed its second consecutive health inspection in a month on after health officials found a live mouse, mouse droppings in multiple places, flies and dozens of live cockroaches, the Heath Department said.

"We're fixing the problem as quickly as we can," said owner , adding the restaurant would then be allowed to reopen.

Serendipity 3 set a Guinness world record on November 7 for the most expensive dessert when it partnered with luxury jeweller Euphoria New York to create "Frrozen Haute Chocolate," a blend of 28 cocoas fused with 0.2 ounces of edible 23-karat gold.

comes with an 18-karat gold bracelet alonng 1 carat of white diamonds at the base of the goblet. The sundae is topped with whipped cream covered with more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, that sells for $2,600 a pound.

the extras are free !!!

Guess they should have spent that money on cleaning up the place instead of a dessert which was too expensive for many to eat :))

I couldn't agree with you more!!! Oh YUCK!! I must be cheap... Even if I had the money to afford such a lavish dessert - I wouldn't. What a complete and total waste of money... No matter who or what is served with it.
