Anyone round here been to Dylan's Candy Bar?

on 3rd ave in NYC.

It's MODERN Americana!

Yes, and it's not like an exciting trip to Willy Wonka's Factory. It's a tourist trap.

A nice stop if you're traveling with children, but I don't feel like I need to go again, and wouldn't have bothered in the first place if I knew what it was like.

It looks like every other middle America mall candy store.

Was just there. The best part are all the self serve candy bins. You can mix and match to create your own bag. It’s like a candy buffet. I mixed some Skittles with some Peanut Eminem’s, with Sour Patch Kids and Whoppers and Sweidish Fish and Mike and Ike’s and topped it off with some Reese’s Piscis. It was expensive dough. My bag came out to be $48.

I went to the one at The Grove in LA. Overpriced junk.

48 bucks? That is my weekly budget for food each week.

It’s trash, pure and simple trash. But you can find some vintage candy bars that are hard to locate.

Do they have Sky Bars?

It looks like Christina Tosi's toilet after a bulimic throwup.

They have really, really good fudge. For that alone I give it a thumbs up. It’s impossible to find any fudge (let alone good fudge) anywhere these days. Certainly not in NYC.

Fun fact: it replaced Sam Goody,

$48 for that cheap candy because of the setting. I guess it's an activity to do with kids or maybe even some kind of bad date.

I'd prefer to go to Andy's Candies.

R2 is the genius in the room. The rest of you type fat and easily influenced.

That tired joke needs to be put to rest.

You should see the store when the private schools nearby let out, kids and nannies for days.

My nieces loved it when they were kids, but yes, it's an overpriced tourist trap & they sell nothing that you couldn't get in Target
