Lexington Candy Shop

Diner · Upper East Side

"Coffee: $3.20 Before going viral for their hand-mixed Cokes and egg creams, Lexington Candy Shop—established 1925—was just a place you could go for reliably buttery tuna melts and fluffy pancakes on the Upper East Side. You can still do this, it just might be a bit more crowded. Come alone and sit at the counter with a book, or come with a few people and wait for a table in a room full of posters of movies set in the neighborhood. Apart from the occasional influencer, most regulars look like they've been coming here for 60 years, minimum." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, sonal shah
