This Japanese spot on St. Mark's Place satisfies with their popular phallic dish. Flocks of NYU students & adventurous eaters come here for 3 things: $8 pitchers, bull's penis, and free cotton candy. Read more.
All bars should be required to have a cotton candy maker to let you play in. Tasty small plates to share and good cheap beer. Decor and music is bizarro but fun.
Hot and cold sake, cotton candy and red bean pancakes, go at odd hours or plan to wait a while, though worth it
This candy store is bomb.com
Great selection and on-par pricing ($5.99/lb) for a nice candy store. The people that work here are so cool!
Great spot for candy you grew up with, fun to explore
Go for the deviled eggs with candy bacon.
Go to Shoolbred's and try their deviled eggs with candied bacon. They're outrageously tasty.
2 for 1 everyday from 4-8. Best deal in the city!!
Avoid the back left corner. It's super smelly. Also, great selection of Japanese candy and chocolate.
They sell a good amount of flavors of Hi-chew candy for $1.25. Very nice price compared to nearby places. Honeydew and strawberry are must haves.
The frozen ramen and udon here is the best. Their non-perishable noodle soups are much better than the cheap stuff you remember eating in college too.
Try the Candied Bacon And Maple Cream Cheese Macaron.
Candied bacon changed my perspective on macarons. #gamechanger
One of the few locations that offer savory macarons, this patisserie serves deliciously bizarre flavors like candied bacon with maple cream cheese and cheetos infused with white chocolate ganache. Read more.
Bento boxes are a steal. Choose something from the candy aisle for dessert and a drink from one of the cases. All under $10.
Their onigiri (rice balls) are bomb, and only $1.49 to boot.
Bento boxes FTW! (they are located in the back of the first aisle)
Come here and find unique gifts, free gift wrapping and candy samples. Yum!
Great place for gifts, novelty items, and baby stuff too! (The owner is extra friendly as well!)
Think it's real name is Ray's Candy Store. 113 Ave A. Awesome fries.
soft serve is $4 n its huge!! try beignets, so yum!
Try the beignets at your own risk, they are so good you'll be hopelessly hooked
Ask at the counter for Sweet Paan, a betel leaf wrapped around spices & candies, which you wad in your cheek like a tobacco plug. Get the guy to show you how to insert it.
This small shop near Curry Row is packed with dried spices and grains, fresh herbs, and plenty of beer. A neighborhood destination for Indian and south Asian pantry goods.
Come here to get whatever exotic spice you might need. Or to grab an exotic six pack of beer to bring to dinner upstairs at Panna II.
Candied Bacon Shake...delicious!
The Candied Bacon Milkshake is one of the craziest and most delicious things there. Trust me, you need to try it!
Marcus is the best! My kids are in heaven...he's been so helpful and helped fix my sons games also supplied quarters and candy canes!! Great selection and the boys got to try out several games.
One more for the Street Fighter nerds -- SF4 "fight school" every Sunday & Thurs, 7pm, $10 buy in. #BYOController Solid spot to get back up to speed if, say, you plan on entering a tournament soon.
Okay, so the Street Fighter 2 Turbo machine is *signed by* Justin Wong -- SF legend and runner up World Champion. (Google "Diago Parry" or "Evo 37" for whole story)
LUDICROUSLY overpriced, but fun eye candy
Probably my favorite store in NY. Yes, they have a few expensive pieces but, they have tons or affordable and amazing clothes and accessories you won't find anywhere else.
Browse the vintage and second hand clothing here. Enjoy the loud, angry punk music while you shop.
Can never get enough of the candy bar pie. Get it!
Christina Tosi's ingenious desserts like candy bar pie riff on lowbrow sweets (in this case, the Take 5 candy bar).
Skip the cereal milk and go for their pies - Candy Bar Pie and Crack Pie are fittingly addictive.
Feeling tipsy with my candy. Candice.... Plum sake all night.
The lunch special here is a really great deal. Also the $6 lemongrass mimosa is delicious. Want to try their other cocktails.
Get Siamese Paella
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
