I first found this candy store when my dad was having trouble finding a certain kind of nut that his dad used to eat. We were wandering the Lower East Side and my dad asked someone if they knew where he could find it - the immediate response: Economy Candy.
Economy Candy gives the impression of an old time, packed to the brim candy store, overflowing with candy - from marzipan, to old time candy buttons, to all day lollipops, to jelly creations that boggle the mind - nuts, by-the-pound and prepackaged chocolates, and even gourmet oils. In keeping with the times, they also offer a huge variety of sugar-free candies for the diabetics and Atkins dieters in your life.
You can order from the store on-line (or just see what you're into before you visit) at economycandy.com, but I highly suggest you stop in and experience the sugar madness for yourself.
