Economy Candy Market

The antithesis of Dylan’s glam is the rustic lollipop landmark Economy Candy Market, located on the LES. A throwback to when the tenements were occupied, Economy is one of the longest-standing family-owned businesses in the city. But history is not the only lure here. The ginormous candy collection, stacked up as high the supremely tall ceilings, has attracted sweet tooths since 1937. Old-school favorites like hard candies, licorice and gum balls pack the bins at this often-crowded but electric scene. And unlike many of its Uptown and West Village counterparts, the folks at Economy offer solid discounts on their stash.
