Mini Dylan's Candy Bar

Dylan's Candy Bar Review - Hudson Yards - New York - The Infatuation

"Dylan’s Candy Bar once occupied a massive 12,000-square-foot space on the Upper East Side, but their NYC flagship is now in a much smaller location, on the fourth floor of the mall at Hudson Yards. But the magic persists, as do the hundreds of rainbow spiral lollipops on the premises. This place feels like a miniature candy-themed amusement park, or the closest a still-developing human brain should come to psychedelics. You don’t go to Dylan’s Candy Bar for the most refined (or the freshest-tasting) confections in the five boroughs, but to delight either your actual child or your inner one. photo credit: Alex Staniloff photo credit: Alex Staniloff photo credit: Alex Staniloff photo credit: Alex Staniloff Amid a fever dream of enormous fiberglass candy canes, rock candy, and sparkly gumdrops, Dylan’s stocks an impressive range of treats, including funnel cake crunch-flavored popcorn, bubble-gum cigarettes, and even ice cream. Not to mention all the kid-bait branded merch, like a body art set with candy temporary tattoos and stick-on jewels. Around Halloween, you might find a chocolate coffin filled with candy ($40), complete with a mallet to bash it open, and an anatomical model’s worth of gummy body parts: teeth, brains, ears, feet, and fingers. Bulk candy here costs $9.50 per half-pound, and there are easily more than 100 tubs to choose from. The chocolate is mid, the pretzel bites are a little stale, but the gummies are good, especially the crunchy strawberry gummy bears coated in sprinkles." - Molly Fitzpatrick
