Dylan's Dirty Candy Bar

by 2plus1 at Citysearch

I was so excited to be coming to NYC for my anniversary with my husband for a long weekend. Dylan's was one of the place's that I had looked up and did some research on. So we decided to go there on October 17, 2009. When we walked in it was a bit overwhelming. It was fun to see all the different kinds of candy but the place was very unkept. When we went upstairs to the ice cream parlour the tables were absolutely disgusting. Food smeared everywhere and crumbs everywhere. Floors were dirty and looked like they hadn't been washed in years. Behind the ice cream counter, boxes were stacked on top of machines, toppings were all over the counters and floors not swept up. There truly was no neatness and cleanliness to the food area at all. Be sure to eat with CAUTION! Not only that I saw one girl take a scope out of one ice cream and stick it in another without washing it. Which doesn't seem like a big deal but there are people with certain allergies out there that the workers need to be sensitive to. I was so disappointed in the whole experience. I did buy some candy but it was out of the glass case where only the workers could serve you. I saw people putting their hands in the candy holders and eating right from them. I understand it is hard to control your urge to have some sweet, delicious candy but please by all means take it out of your bag after you scoop from the candy holders. One lady licked her fingers after having a piece of candy out of one of the holders and then moved on and stuck her fingers in the next bowl that she was taking from. Changes need to be made to this "candy" store so that the whole experience can be a "sweet" one.

• Pros: Huge Selection
• Cons: Dirty

Candy Store

by magicloop2009 at Citysearch

They have great chocolate bars. On the upper east side, very rich and upscale, though junk food is by far not healthy. This is located right near fao schwartz. I think that Hershey's is better though. If you have a sweet tooth and crave for sweets, this is the place to go.

• Pros: Great, candy, fresh made lollipops, and candy apples
• Cons: Long waiting on the lines
