Treats: The Sweet Shop NYC

Located on the Upper East Side, the Sweet Shop NYC—owned and operated by local couple Kelly and Glyn Jaime—is the ultimate spot for one-stop sugar shopping with a retro twist. Offering candy, chocolates, ice cream, coffee, and tea, as well as party favors, gifts, and balloons, the tasty location is perfect for stocking up on party snacks or for getting a sense of the kind of old-school sweet emporiums that are seldom seen these days. Plus, since the store offers a supply of old-fashioned confections (think candy buttons and small-batch marshmallows) in addition to Zagat-rated gelato and sorbet, foodie parents are sure to get just as much of a sugar rush as their kiddos. thesweetshopnyc.com
