    Time Out New York / Issue 655 : Apr 16–22, 2008
    Eat Out Awards 2008

    Readers’ choice

    Best candy shop
    Economy Candy
    Other nominees: Philip’s Candy Shop, Roni-Sue’s Chocolates, Papabubble
    Despite a cavalcade of sugary newcomers, this Lower East Side institution is your No. 1. It’s as popular and everlasting as a gobstopper, which the 1937 candy depot vends alongside faux smokes and Charleston Chews, chocolate-dipped Oreos and nutty halvah, foot-long Twizzlers and countless other cavity-causers, new and old. This perennial fave packs so many floor-to-ceiling confections in its mazelike confines that customers’ eyes pinwheel with possibilities: Care for an oversize Pez dispenser or perhaps cinnamon discs? Ask Economy’s sweet workers for a suggestion, just not a sample: That’s a no-no.

      Apparently the readers of this magazine have no BBQ experience whatsoever if they think hill country is the best! I know there is a shortage of good BBQ in NYC, but even Dallas BBQ is better than this overpriced garbage chain! Daisy Mae's, RUB, hell, the mcRib is better than hill country! If you like paying 10 bucks for a mexican coke that tastes like every other coke in the world, and carrying a bunch of subpar smoked meats all over a buffet restaurant then by all means, enjoy!
