    Default Economy Candy

    Just went to Economy Candy last Sat its a very to say the least well stocked candy store here in NYC. Its almost a city landmark I got there just as they were closing so I only had a few mins to take some pics.

    For decor they have some really great old items such as the Gum machines that you can see in one of the pics. They are all very high up near the ceiling.

    They have every candy item you can think of and more! On top of that the prices are very good as compared to the other famous NY candy store Dylons Candy bar which really caters to the rich and doesnt have a 10th of the items of Economy.

    Economy is a small familiy run business with a lot of soul

    Dylans is the complete opposite It run by the wealthy for the wealthy

    a $40 dollar bag at Economy would cost up around $150-$180 at Dylans to give you an idea. but most tourists know Dylans.

    Just another cool place to checkout that most non NewYorkers dont know about.. Including New Yorkers LOL

    Hope you dont mind Adina in the pics, she is a poser by nature as a matter of fact she got a modeling contract a few months ago with Wilhelmina.
    You just might be seeing her all over the place UGH!!!

    I asked her to move out of the pics so I could show you guys the store but thats how it goes!

    The 2 Dylans pics were from awhile back I dint have any others to show the inside

    Here is the Stores Web Page as well as Dylons in case you guys might want to visit them.

    I forgot to mention one neat little touch that Dylans does have .

    If you notice in the 2nd Dylans pic there is a Red Cabinet display where a woman and a boy are facing.

    In that Display are Plexi boxes containing the favorite candies of Celebrities,Politicians,Sports figures etc and each box is signed by the celebrity with his or her favorite items inside.

    The celebrities fill and sign their boxes without any fanfare at all which is pretty cool so no crowds and some people dont notice when there is a celebrity amongst them.

    Cool, candy cigarettes and chocolate cigarettes, the only 'smokes' allowed at Gibisan's! Now I just need that parlor cigarette machine that takes pachinko balls.

    all candy cigarettes were banned from the Catholic grade school I went to.

    the local stores could not sell them, people complained about kids smoking in the school yard

    Hmmmm... did they have any Curly-Wurly candy bars? They are like what we used to call a Marathon bar. I miss those, but Curly-Wurly bars are close

    Hmmmm

    I used to like Curly Wurly Bars if you mean these...

    http://www.oldtimecandy.com/curly-wurly.htm

    but 'Marathon' bars that I know here in England have all been renamed 'Snickers'

    I know, I know it's no doubt a totally different kind of thing anyway...

    Maynards wine gums are indeed a favourite in my house too!!

    I am however very disappointed that no real wine is used in them
