One New Thing: The London Candy Company

Today, Elliot and I took a different route on our afterschool errands, and we ended up wandering down a stretch of Lexington we don't usually go down. We were in search of a snack, and we happened across the London Candy Company. I hesitated, and said I didn't think candy was a good snack. But Elliot boldly entered.

This  shop has every kind of British candy you can think of. Ever read a British memoir and wondered about all of those weird candies that the authors swoon over in the childhood part of the book? Come here, and you can give each of them a try! They also have a variety of pastries (including pain au chocolat!) and a little coffee bar. Very cute. And the guys who worked there were really friendly. That always stands out in New York.

Here is some of the candy we bought. I think Elliot and I will continue to go back until we've tried everything that looks interesting.

Fun Elliot fact: his favorite kind of chocolate is white. Would you have ever thought?
