Located inside the iconic 5th avenue FAO Schwarz flagship, FAO Schweetz's intensely illuminated pink store sells candy by the pound as well as individual items. Supersize items fill the space, like cereal-boxes full of sour gummy worms and huge Snickers bars weighing one pound. If the candy's not enough, book a cookie party to bake and decorate sugar cookies in the Party Room with a famous Toy Soldier overseeing your work.

Pappabubble's interior looks more like a candy laboratory than a candy store, in the best possible way. Stop by the SoHo spot to see artisans crafting candy by hand, backed by clear vials full of different ingredients. Pappabubble's hard candies and lollipops resemble gorgeous hand blown pieces of glass, and special orders can be placed for custom candy rings, portraits and other candy art.
