It’s easy to get carried away with the excitement of staying in a hotel, especially one as iconic as the Plaza Hotel.
Friends Amira Harvey and Jenna Sinatra were enjoying a luxurious night out at the infamous New York hotspot, which is especially popular due to its appearance in Home Alone 2, when they made a costly mistake by ordering room service.
Inspired by one of the famous scenes from the Christmas classic in which Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) orders the extravagant ice cream, Amira and Jenna did the same, only to discover that it cost a whopping $500.
“Amira was so excited about the 16-flavor ice cream from the movie Home Alone,” Jenna said in the clip now viral posted TikTok.
In the video, room service arrived at her door with the huge bowl of ice cream, before a shocked Jenna signed the check.
“He said it was $100, that everything would be okay when we split up,” he continued, talking about his friend.
“That’s what I thought,” Amira interjected.
“It’s $500,” Jenna revealed in shock.

To make matters worse, Amira hadn’t even seen the movie.
In a comment, Jenna wrote that the dessert was “good,” but “no ice cream is worth $500,” and Amira said it wasn’t even the best ice cream she’d ever had.
The expensive menu consists of 16 scoops of assorted ice cream, whipped cream, maraschino cherries, M&Ms, brownie bits, chocolate, caramel and raspberry sauce.
The women added that they only received two flavors: chocolate and vanilla, which disappointed them.
Commenters were amused (and horrified) by the costly mistake.
‘So you’re telling me you paid $31.25 for just one scoop?’ “That’s crazy,” one viewer wrote.
‘OMG, it was just chocolate and vanilla!!?? That’s theft… I thought there were 16 flavors!’ said another dismayed.
‘Do you know how much ice cream I can buy for $500?! “That’s like 10 bucks,” another growled.

The Plaza is a vacation favorite for movie fans, and even offers a Home Alone experience.
Even without the Christmas decorations, the Plaza Hotel remains largely unchanged since it appeared in Home Alone 2 and its gold and red interiors have a festive feel all year round.
The luxury hotel even offers its Kevin-inspired Have Fun In New York package, with perks including a limo ride, a large cheese pizza, and a ‘Home Alone Sundae.’
