Cute little historical candy store. Felt very special and nostalgic being there. Great options. But do wish they had more halal/vegan/pescatarian options . They also had ranges from other countries too which was a nice surprise.

Visited this candy store on our trip to New York City as it had been mentioned in a TikTok that it was the oldest candy store in the city. It was a small building with so much packed inside. We spent a good amount of time here checking out all the nostalgic candies as well as the imported candies. The back wall is a failure on jelly belly bag. I was personally intrigued with all of the imported snacks there were so many from France. They had their own shelf on the wall Europe it appeared was in the center on the cabinet, and then there were some Asian Oreos and pocky in the same area. If anyone in your life likes candy it’s definitely worth checking this out.

“This place is dangerous!” is what a lady coming out of the store with a bag full of candy told us on our way in. And she was totally right. I had a visitor from Japan who loves Haribo and was looking for the Ginger Lemon flavor, which apparently is only produced in Germany. So we searched online and came across Economy Candy. Considering it’s been around since 1937, I don’t know how I’d never been here before. It is such a fun store! It’s not large, but has floor-to-ceiling shelves and you are surrounded by chocolates and candy. It’s a child’s dream (and possibly for adults, too). I can’t wait to go back again!
