Dylan's Candy Store



Kids remember their favorite candy stores, and adults who had particularly memorable candy experiences don't tend to forget their childhood either. That's why Dylan's Candy Store is a great 21st-century version of the Penny Candy Store some of us remember from the 60's and 70's. The stairs leading to the lower level at Dylan's are stunning, full of gummy objects and various beloved sweets. The light emanates in a way that silhouettes the candy displays, and what kid doesn't stop and go nuts over this? If you haven't been to Dylan's, it is a wonderful experience, with clothing for sale in addition to every possible type of candy you can think of. Nice baby gifts too.

sounds of summer, tastes of plastic



Mister Softee, the most evil progeny of artificially-flavored, chemical-slush ice cream, announces his (or her) presence with a decades-old, broken-down and mournful soundtrack. The horrible tune emanating from the trucks echoes the gravelly voice of Tom Carvel, who alas died in 1990 and went to the great Cookiepuss freezer in the sky.
