Candy Kitchen


An antidote to glitz, this old-school corner diner has been serving good soups, homemade ice cream and other staples since 1925. Its policy is similarly old school – cash only, please.

As far as ice cream goes, give mint chip or coffee chip a go; for lunch, the souvlaki and other Greek staples are popular.
