The infamous Upper East Side dessert restaurant Serendipity 3 was closed Wednesday when Health Department inspectors found rat droppings, a live mouse and more than 100 roaches.  I would hate to be the one who had to count the bugs!

A city health inspector also discovered stagnant water in the basement, and the mouse droppings were found in several parts of the restaurant.

Serendipity 3 has been featured in several movies and is a popular stop for tourists who have been known to wait hours to try their frozen drinks or foot-long hot dogs.


Wednesday's health inspection was the second straight one that Serendipity 3 failed.

The health department would not comment about the closure on Wednesday night.
