We hope you can join us TOMORROW for our Counter Culture: New York City’s Greatest Diners and Luncheonettes book signing event at Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue at 83rd Street on Thursday, September 24th from 1-3 PM
Meet John Philis, the 3rd-gen co-owner who has kept this time capsule luncheonette a favorite spot for egg creams and Coca-Cola served the old-fashioned way for generations.
We will be signing books available for purchase and celebrating at the front table.
We hope you enjoy watching our latest recorded video tour in 4K from the Feast of San Gennaro on opening weekend 2026 as we walk the entire length of the Feast and showcase the huge crowds, delicious food stalls, games and music performances and the Grand Procession with marching bands performing and celebrity guests carrying the statue of San Gennaro on opening weekend on Saturday, September 19, 2026.
It looks amazing to watch on the TV in 4K!
"It has to be said that the photographs themselves are extremely aesthetically pleasing as standalone images. James and Karla’s experience as architectural and interior photographers really shines through in this series."

"The images that you will find in the book are everything you would want and more. Prepare to marvel at the gorgeous and inviting interiors and exteriors of a selection of Manhattan’s favourite diners and luncheonettes. The inside of Lexington Candy Shop’s ageless décor, which features traditional metallic and leather seated bar stools accompanying the countertop, could quite easily trick you into believing you have just stepped onto the set of a famous American tv show or film."
