Handsome Dan's

While Dan and his handsome self aren't technically old timers (unless he ages backwards), his expertly curated candy store embodies the retro vibes we all know and love. After launching a Snocone & Candy Stand in the Williamsburg mall back in 2012, the would-be Willy Wonka launched a brick-and-mortar location in the East Village - much to everyone's delight.
