Lexington Candy Shop at the corner of Lexington Avenue and 83rd Street was founded in 1925 and is now owned by the 3rd-gen owner John Philis & his partner Bob Karcher. @lexingtoncandyshop is the oldest continuously operating luncheonette in Manhattan and has a gorgeous #vintage interior, which has not been renovated since 1948. (Swipe left ⬅️ for 2nd photo of the vanilla #eggcream we had and their 1940s mint green Hamilton Beach mixer used to make their world-famous malteds and milk shakes).
• Today, we visited Lexington Candy Shop and had a delicious lunch with our dog Hudson at their outdoor tables to help support this family-owned shop as it struggled to survive during the pandemic when so many local Upper East residents left the neighborhood.
To see the #vintage interior including the counter seating & booths and to watch them make a coffee malted milkshake and egg cream, please subscribe to our JamesandKarla YouTube channel, see direct link below & in bio and IG story.
