Nicky is thrilled to see howRHOBHfans have positively responded to Kathy’s presence. “It’s so funny, I get tagged in memes all day and she barely knows what a meme is. So, I’ll send it to her,” she continues. “It’s pretty hilarious.”
Long before they were bonding overRHOBHmemes, Nicky and Kathy created cherished memories of visiting Serendipity3, beginning when she was a child.
The iconic N.Y.C. restaurant (which also sells several ice cream pint flavors, including Cookies & Cream Remix,online) officially opened its doors again on Friday after being closed for over a year due to renovations.

For Nicky, being a part of Serendipity3’s reopening event is a “very heartwarming and nostalgic and special” experience.
“I am a very proud born and bred New Yorker and Serendipity is an institution. I have been coming here my whole life,” Nicky, whose favorite item on the menu is the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, tells PEOPLE “My mom always ordered the foot-long hot dog. Of course, we all have frozen hot chocolate during wintertime.”
