Two friends staying at the famous Plaza Hotel, known for its role in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, were stunned by a $500 bill after indulging in Kevin McCallister’s iconic room-service ice cream. The duo, musician Amira Harvey and her friend Jenna Sinatra, decided to recreate the movie moment with the hotel’s 16-scoop sundae topped with whipped cream, M&Ms, cherries, and sauces.
While the menu listed the treat at $350, additional charges such as a delivery fee, service charge, and tip brought the total closer to $500. Jenna, who had never seen the film, believed the dessert would cost around $100, making the final bill a significant shock. The friends documented their reactions and the experience on TikTok, likely hoping to offset costs through views.
Despite the hefty price tag, other visitors have echoed similar sentiments about the sundae, with one calling it “expensive but worth the story.” The Plaza Hotel continues to attract fans eager to experience the luxury and nostalgia tied to the beloved movie.
This extravagant experience underscores the allure of blending pop culture with real-world indulgences, proving that even a dessert can carry a hefty price when tied to Hollywood magic.
