I'm 73 years of age, born and raised in Central California. Everything about New York City has fascinated me from my early 20's and I believe establishments like Lexington Candy Shop epitomize that special time in our history when the American Dream was alive and well. Thank you for sharing.
Gotta support this place...if ever in New York, I would eat there every day...support this place, new york!❤.
I'll bet my parents ate there 70+ years ago. Love it. Wish them another 100 years in business.
Thank you for this beautiful and wonderful story of history that has left our restaurant industry.
Miss all the fun easy dining..🙋
A great neighborhood diner will never die.
Started by Greek immigrants! Many Greek immigrants started "sweet shops" when they came to this country. How wonderful that this is going strong. Many years to the owners/staff and to the restaurant!
wow if i ever visit ny i will be there
Lovely!
Nice info about 3days of the condor… love that movie Robert R , Fay Dunaway, Cliff Robertson & more.
This place is awesome!
Love !!!❤❤❤❤ Cheers all !!
It is so expensive but I love it!!!
I'd MUCH rather pay for FRESH than the GD expensive fastfood CRAP !!
It has to be expensive. Rents are sky high. They do not have many seatings which means they are limited to how much revenue they could take in. One thing is for sure. It is worth every penny.
Love it❤❤❤❤❤
I once saw Woody Allen and John Turturro filming a movie in there.
He looks almost exactly like his Grandpa. It's uncanny.
I ate there once I got sick as a dog ended up throwing up in the street. The cop came by and told me to stop throwing up
the laurel in long beach ny!
I believe the word is "Toney" not *Tony"
Food is just ok, and expensive (like most places)...
I bet they make a mean egg cream
Would be so much nicer if shot in 4K or HD.....
One of their drinks that you forgot is their egg cream
People who drink Egg Creams moved to Florida.
yeah, but how good is their egg-cream fountain soda?
In this video I was not aware of this place as is listed on UTUBE but at a quick glance at there menu it's not exactly cheap but given it's location it doesn't surprise me as any place in Manhattan you are going to pay the price unless you can cook for yourself like me as my father once told me that if you live in a specific area you will be forced but he also said to live in HONOLULU HAWAII that's the price to live in paradise because nothing in HONOLULU HAWAII is not cheap or any of the outer islands unless you are wealthy but even then they watch there money and investments like he did
How bout now?
Nice that that you plugged your veggie burger, but what about HOT DOGS???
I'm shocked that a Greek opened a restaurant
lmao
In this video I remember years ago when my parents and my sister came to visit me and my girlfriend in QUEENS one thing that they wanted to see was the old speakeasy places during probation when you were not allowed to buy liquor and it was also the time when down south you had illegal distilleries making MOON SHINE which to me tastes like gasoline highly toxic and I tried it once no more and it's pure alcohol as you can put a match to it and it will egnite with a flame but I don't know the proof but it's up there with Cognac Brandy and your finest Whiskeys like JACK DANIELS all made in KENTUCKY and it's all called SOUR MASH but they are all regulated by the government and they are very expensive and strict by law but now you have other companies trying to get into the market but like anything drink in moderation as years ago I lived with Irish guys who were all construction workers and one guy by the name of JIMMY M the 1st thing he did was to drink vodka and Whiskeys and the last thing he did was to do the same thing and he finally died of hard liquor but the key is also to eat something so it absorbs the alcohol like a sponge sad but true and his brother went back to Ireland and his older brother is still here with his family and he owns his own business rich but you would never know it and very low key very quiet
Jesus, lay off the meth.
Forget it. Current state of New York is a third world country.
