A great little bodega, the 100th Street Candy Store, wedged in between two much larger buildings on West 100th Street btw. Manhattan Ave and CPW:
They’ve got it all, including “lotery tickets and things!”
I really like signs with colored lights around the border.

As a follow-up to Tuesday’s post about the now defunct Putnam train line, reader Wiscogirl emailed to say that a rare picture of the Van Cortlandt train stop in its heyday is currently up for sale on Ebay. Here’s the station today… …and in 1963, a few years after passenger service ended: I have to…
I hope you’ve enjoyed my recent posts on St. John. Like most people, I always assumed the Virgin Islands were just some pretty beaches and pleasant rum drinks. The fact that over 60% of St. John has been protected as a National Park, from its beaches… …to its forests…
For anyone new to the site, in January, my friend found a pit bull chained to the Williamsburg Bridge in Brooklyn, left to die overnight in a horrendous snowstorm. I posted her story here, and despite the fact that about 1 in 800 rescue pit bulls finds a home, she became a sensation, and I…
Note: I think this might be gone. Unless you need to be somewhere on time, I find that getting lost is often one of the best things that can happen to you. Today, I was heading back to the city from Bayonne, NJ, and got confused trying to follow my iPhone’s directions to the highway….
In my opinion, Tribeca is one of the more boring places to live in New York – everything seems to close early, almost as an extension of the Financial District, which is too bad because there’s a lot of fantastic old buildings that have been converted into lofts and office space. Some people still have…
I saw the coolest thing as I was driving over the Williamsburg Bridge the other day… Above this building at the end of Delancey Street… I noticed a huge flock of birds circling overhead…Except, they never left the area. They just kept circling, and it soon became clear they were following something… That’s when I…

$8.25 for a pack of cigarettes? Yikes!
No body should smoke.
It would be the “things” that would entice me! Your blog is the first thing I reach for in the morning.
The invisable, the neglected, the overlooked- You are a saint!
Well, sure, Linda Sue, but still, that’s nearly twice what they cost here in Minnesota.
really into your site, love the old candy store signs too.
I love that the store is so narrow that its sign extends onto the building next door.
It’s things like this that I would visit N.Y. for…….
We grew up going to that store all the time after walking back from the central park pool..
They used to have the best cheap sandwiches we could afford as kids…this is from where we saw the “seven-ups” movie being filmed in the 70’s – one of the better car chase flicks ever
I don’t understand what’s the big deal about this place, I live right across the street from it and all day I see people sitting in front of the store just hanging out (sometimes being loud and disruptive), I have yet to see real customers walking in and out. How do they make a profit? They open and close unpredictably and sometimes they’re not open at all! I haven’t been inside yet because I’m not sure if they actually want to sell stuff or just chill.
