Since 1937, on the Lower East Side Economy Candy is an old-fashioned, family-owned candy store that sells hundreds of kinds of chocolates, candies, nuts, dried fruits; including halvah, sugar free candy and of course all the old time candy you had when you were a kid.
The New York Standard opened in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District in 2009. It is noted for its modernist design reminiscent of Le Corbusier and for its span across the High Line, an elevated railroad track on Manhattan’s West Side. Its accompanying restaurant, Standard Grill, opened in June 2009 and serves American cuisine. When first opened, controversy arose as guests of the hotel would expose themselves to passersby on the High Line, often with the tacit approval and encouragement of the hotel’s management.

This is an article in the Washington Post that explains how you can experience seven different one-food restaurants all over Manhattan and (possibly) burn off all the calories walking to them one by one. =)

Discovering New York is a compilation of work that has been collected electronically and on paper for many years and has been hosted on several websites and wikis before it came here, and we think has now found a permanent home here at http://greggstull.org
Check out the Pages Tab at the bottom left hand side of the header for a listing of headings that will lead you anywhere from the best places to eat in New York City to the best places to shop, to little known places of interest that even the natives to New York City are not aware of.
Please leave your comments for new places that you think we may like to add to the blog.
