stuffin’ stockin’s
there’s no better place in town to find fun treats for kids than Economy Candy (the old time candy store on Rivington and Essex in the LES). with our 2 nephews in town for the holiday, we took advantage of the chance to fill their stocking with some cool stuff…

giant candy canes, Wonka Bars, Pez dispensers of their favorite characters, Bertie Botts Beans, huge speckled jaw breakers, Gummi Lunch sets, little tin “suitcases” with Rudolph characters on the outside and holiday gumballs on the inside.

we also snagged foil covered milk chocolate soldiers, marzipan fruit, Almond Roca, jelly fruit slices, and a couple adult favorites… their lovely dark chocolate covered gram crackers and heavenly dried apricots from California (the kind with a real intense apricot flavor, no those flavorless Mediterranean ones.) a massize selection, and everything is so cheap! (and there’s info on places to check out near-by in our LES Food Tour)
