Lexington Candy Shop Luncheonette, Upper East Side, Manhattan

Discover NYC
Written By Leanne Staples

The Lexington Candy Shop Luncheonette is a real treasure! They call themselves a luncheonette rather than a diner and they even have an old soda fountain. A real throwback to a different era. Lexington Candy Shop opened it's doors in 1925!!! The food is standard American cuisine and you can't go wrong with breakfast, sandwiches and burgers. Oh they also have homemade pies, ice cream sundaes and egg creams. Restaurants in NYC don't stick around for over 90 years out of luck. You gotta be really good to make here. They have a collection of Coca-Cola bottles from around the world and throughout the ages in the front window. This is a definite favorite.
