One of my favorite things to do for you guys is to discover new restaurants that you’ve yet to visit or have maybe never even heard of. While it’s always nice to find the perfect place where you can get a delicious home cooked meal, sometimes we just need to bite into something that will please our sweet tooth. It may be easy to run into a nearby convenient store and grab a quick bar of chocolate, but this one massive candy store in New York will make you feel like a kid again.
