The Candy Store on Main Street
41A Main St. Port Washington, NY 516-708-9581
Readers' pick: "I love the vintage candy from my childhood, such as Charleston Chews," says Tracey Beinstock of Old Bethpage.
The Candy Store on Main Street is a bright yellow storefront with inflatable versions of candy hanging from the ceiling. It strives to carry the newest treats - a recent addition is Caramel Apple Sugar Babies. The Pez container offerings include Piglet, the Joker and Elvis. The store does birthday parties and centerpieces for bar and bat mitzvah celebrations, among other specialty items. Eat a chocolate-covered worm and a chocolate-covered cricket and get your photo up on the shop's "Factor of Fear" wall. "The kids do it after school," says Allison Lefkowitz, store manager. "It's so funny."
