Dylans Candy Bar (NY)

A couple of years ago while strolling the Upper West Side I came across this specialty candy shop. The eye-catching design creates a Willie Wonka-like feeling that makes this a unique experience for candy lovers of all kinds. In their own words: "our 10,000 square foot New York City flagship store totally redefines the idea of a traditional 'sweets' store by creating a unique and completely unmatched shopping experience in a visually awe inspiring environment".

This includes Pez dispensers (ranging in price from $2 up to $2,000 for a rare vintage collectable). Lollipops that range in size from 3 ounces to 3 feet tall. The candy shop was co-founded and owned by Dylan Lauren (daughter of Ralph) and offers the best candy money can buy and the Wonka-esque setting to go along with it. Last year I ordered some of their excellent 10 Pack Assorted Chocolate Bars for my nieces and nephews for Christmas. This year I may just order something for myself. Order something for yourself here.
