New York Exploration: Lexington Candy Shop's Handcrafted Cola π
Recently, I finally visited the legendary Lexington Candy Shop in New York's Upper East Side! Since its opening in 1925, this restaurant has become one of New York's oldest Luncheonettes, still preserving its authentic retro style. Walking in feels like stepping back into New York in the last century. π°οΈ π The restaurant has been family-owned since 1925, weathering nearly a century of changes while remaining one of the few in New York that still adheres to traditional preparation methods. Every corner exudes nostalgia, from the wooden counters and vintage menus to the old-fashioned mixers. It's a must-visit for anyone who loves American retro culture. π π₯€ I ordered their signature handcrafted cola, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream added (highly recommended!). The process of mixing it right in front of you is full of ritual. Unlike bottled cola, this version is made from soda water, syrup, and a secret recipe. The bubbles are softer, the sweetness is just right, and the creamy vanilla ice cream takes it to another level! It's around $15. π Lexington Candy Shop is more than just a restaurantβit's like a time machine. As you enjoy your meal, you're also experiencing New York's history and culture. πIf you love a retro atmosphere, classic American dishes, and unique drinks, this place is perfect for you! Come and feel the century-old charm for yourself. β€οΈ #NewYork #NYCFood π
