"Philip's Candy was once a premier concession stand on the Coney Island boardwalk, started in 1930. It was known for jelly apples, caramel apples, taffy, and popcorn. It closed in 2001 due to a terminal overhaul and later reopened in Staten Island in 2002. The shop offers a range of candies including chocolate-covered marshmallows, fudge, chocolate pretzel pieces, and seasonal jelly apples. The shop is run by Maria Dorman, who continues the family tradition amid challenges like inflation." - Melissa McCart
