why have i never heard of economy candy?!? good lord. floor-to-ceiling,
wall-to-wall treats. more pez than i’ve ever seen in one place…
including this- my personal holy grail:

plus old style nostalgic stuff, high-end chocolate, penny candy…
exactly what one would expect a new york cand store to be…

also noted on this day: on the sidewalk of 19th street, two men
stood facing each other. one looked straight up, tilting his head
way back so the other could shave his adam’s apple with an electric
razor.
