Gotham Gal trucks down to the new Lower East Side and hits the old Economy Candy.
Economy Candy is the old immigrant candy store of the 1950s Lower East Side, and it’s one on the few things to survive gentification.
GG says:
“Floor to ceiling candy of every kind. It is overwhelming. Huge Pez’s, rope of licorice tied together, 10 lb. bags of jolly ranchers (I bought that for my husband’s office), high end chocolate bark, caramels, chocolate covered pretzels, candy necklaces, reese peanut butter cups. It’s all there. ”
If anyone knows a place like this in San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, etc. please tell me. Sometimes I have to feed my inner Hungarian grandma.
