Economy Candy

Open since 1937, this old school candy shop is packed to the brim with chocolate , gummies , fruits and nuts , and all manner of other sweets, vintage and new.

Just shy of giant vats of candy for you to swim through. My go to is the sour Pink Grapefruit Haribo candy , one of the few places that carry it. That and some of the European candies and chocolates .

One of the most amazing places in all of NYC. They carry every candy you could ever want, & in multiple quantities. I love the dark chocolate covered graham crackers . Forever feels like a hidden gem .

The closest thing to Wonka's Candy Factory that exists. Floor to ceiling chocolate , candy and gum from around the world. This place is heaven for candy lovers.

So. Much. Candy . You'll find almost anything you can think of, available in various sizes and weights (including bags of 5 or 8 lbs of candy ).

This is the place to go to when you want to walk down your childhood memory lane, and don't want to fight the crowds at Toys R'Us. Oversized lolly pops still make a great novelty gift . www.luvrae.com

Name describes it all. Good selection of NY and US classic candy if souvenirs are required or gifts for overseas

So many fun discoveries amongst the overflowing isles of candy , from classic candy favorites that have disappeared everywhere else to nostalgia items like old comics

Slinging sourballs since the 1930s, this longtime favorite preserves, in sugary microcosm, the Lower East Side of the old days. Read more

This place is perfect except for one thing - it's impossible to walk out without buying way more candy than you could imagine you wanted. ????????????????????????

One of the few places in the city that carry polar bears (white chocolate covered gummy bears ), except not during the summer.

Come here to satisfy your sweet tooth craving. They've got everything from vintage candies and hard to find brands.

Very very good and really really cheap . Cheaper than the supermarkets and drugstores

Buy a pack of Alf trading cards and eat a piece of gum from 1987 (no, don't eat it, it has not aged like a fine wine ).

If you miss any candy from long ago or far away, whether PC or not, you can find it here. Candy cigarettes, pixie stix, bacon mints ,

Every old school candy you could want. The tables are 6 for 5. Make sure you pick wisely. But no peanut chews ????
