Strange Snacks of the World: Weird Holiday Candy at Dylan's Candy Bar on the UES
Dylan's Candy Bar, a three-level sugar emporium on the Upper East Side, has broken out the green-and-red foil wrappers, chocolate Santas, and just about everything else you can think of that's holiday-themed and will rot your teeth.
