Lexington Candy Shop

Don't let the name of this Upper East Side establishment fool you. It's not really a confectionary; it's a place where you can satisfy cravings for both sweet and savory. Get your malted shakes, egg creams, and Danishes served right alongside burgers, tuna melts, and onion rings. If you get an old-timey feel here, it's because the luncheonette has been around since 1925 and is considered a NYC landmark. Owned and operated by the same family since its opening date, this is the place where locals and tourists can get three square meals as well as a memorable dessert.
