After Eva, Altagracia and I left the Clinton Street Baking, I wanted them to experience Economy Candy. This is NYC’s oldest retail candy shop. Old time favorites, candy by the pound, single candy bars, all types of candy, nuts and dried fruit from floor to ceiling. Direct quote from Altagracia “this is a diabetic nightmare”.
Economy candy store started as a shoe and hat repair shop with an outdoor push cart that sold candy. During the Depression, selling candy brought in more business than the repair shop. Today, the store stocks up on 2,000 + items of their favorites which includes candy that you can’t find anywhere else.
Everyone should experience Economy Candy at least once. It brings back a lot of childhood memories. Bubble gum cigarettes, fish, clark bar, cherry sours, mary jane, peanut bars, atomic fireballs, fruit stipe gum, fruit slices, chocolate covered graham crackers (with and without jelly), chocolate covered pretzels, jelly rings, bags of gummies, red string licorice, chunky, astro pop, lemonhead, zagnut bar, violets, sweet tarts, nerds, pez, sugar babies, taffy, get the hint. Go and take a walk down memory lane.
