Charming, non-corporate candy shop - Edit
This is a type of tiny, "old-New York" candy shop, a type that is rapidly disappearing in the face of corporate megastores that now dominate the city. As I understand it, this family-owned shop has been in operation since 1980, and the owner — Ms. Myzel--still works behind the counter.
Read moreThis store sells a bunch of creatively crafted licorice treats in jars, sold by weight, and a number of these (though not all) are labeled as vegan (that is, they are made without gelatin). When I visited, they told me they didn't have any vegan chocolates available, but they did have several types of vegan licorices, all of which were incredibly delicious. In any event, part of the fun of visiting this store is going to the store itself and basking in the nostalgia.
