Add Dylan’s Candy Bar to your list of must-see destinations in the Big Apple. The three-story Manhattan store is like walking into Candyland or the world of Willy Wonka. A 10-foot-tall chocolate Easter bunny greets you at the door. And throughout the candy emporium, you’ll see everything from floor-to-ceiling columns shaped like candy canes and tables that represent Lifesavers to a giant glass lollipop tree and an array of bright colors and eye-catching shapes and graphics.
Choose from more than 300 types of bulk candy, or satisfy your cravings in the chocolate department. Then head over to the nostalgia shop for some vintage candy from your youth. The store boasts unthinkable diversity, and the braver members of your family may even want to try the Harry Potter Bertie Botts Beans jellybeans in flavors such as bacon and dirt, or munch on edible bikinis. Perhaps best of all, the third-floor café boasts a classic soda fountain with outlandish desserts like a 10-scoop, 10-topping ice cream sundae, as well as smoothies, malts, oversized cupcakes, marshmallow treats and 18 types of Belgian hot chocolate.
Among other attractions, Dylan’s also features a candy art gallery that displays and sells prominent candy-centric photographs, sculptures and paintings and a celebrity favorites section that houses miniature bins of candy autographed and filled with the favorite candy of celebrities that have visited Dylan’s Candy Bar.
Dylan’s Candy Bar is the brainchild of Dylan Lauren, the daughter of legendary fashion designer Ralph Lauren. It’s no wonder she has incorporated a line of apparel and accessories that feature iconic candy and brand logos.
