"Founded in 1937, this quintessential Lower East Side institution was a wholesaler that turned into a retailer. Thousands of varieties of candy are offered, including many regional varieties (like Squirrel Nut Zippers and Mary Janes) and other types you may have thought long extinct (Bonomo’s Turkish Taffy, Nik-L-Nips). Every day, the sales floor crowds with tourists, the nostalgic, and candy lovers of all stripes. There’s an additional location in the Chelsea Market." - Robert Sietsema
