The Best Candy Stores In NYC - New York - The Infatuation
"There's no doubt which shop comes first in our gummy-loving hearts—this one-of-a-kind institution should probably be named an official city landmark. As the oldest candy store in New York, Economy Candy has been filling dentist chairs on the Lower East Side since 1937. It’s not so much a shop as it is a depot, with an overwhelming section of imported goodies from Japan, Germany, England, and a few Scandinavian countries. They don’t have a bulk section, but they do have a vast variety of one pound bags (from around $5), and more chocolate bars than you can imagine (grab a Cannoli Bar with deep-fried shell fragments). Come with a kid, or before you throw your next party, and get lost in one of NYC’s most overstimulating stores." - molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, willa moore
