When folks come to New York City, they ask me two questions:
- Where should we eat?
- What should we see?
Not simple questions to answer in a city that has everything.
One of my favorite places — that I am happy to report is over on the East Side and requires a bit of effort on my part to visit — is Dylan’s Candy Bar.
Across from Bloomingdale’s, Dylan’s is every kid’s dream candy store…and every adult-who-still-loves-candy-a-bit-too-much-for-their-own-good’s personal challenge.
I usually don’t go unless I am with company sightseeing. (Then I have an excuse.)
NEWSFLASH — rumor has it a new Dylan’s location is opening in my neighborhood on the Upper West Side, just three blocks from my apartment. Now, I could dismiss this as hearsay, but all of the stores in that block — save one — have closed of late, leaving space for what would be a huge sweet shoppe.
Sweet Jesus.
