LEXINGTON CANDY SHOP & LUNCHEONETTE

Whenever you visit New York Upper East you have to pay a visit at the Lexington Candy Shop Luncheonette. This hidden gem on Lexington Ave. serves the community breakfast for over almost a decade. The store is operated by 3 generations since 1925.

Where the interior is an authentic American Diner / Soda Fountain with booths and stools at the bar.

The menu is simple and hearthy, eggs are baked in real butter.

Lexington Candy Shop is located just 3 blocks from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum Mile, on the corner of 83rd Street and Lexington Av.

THE ONLY WAY IS........ UB, FIRENZE

In a hidden street called Via dei Conti, I found UB, named after it's owner Ubaldo. The store has a beautiful customized metal door and window. When you enter the store you don't enter another vintage store which just sells some vintage furniture and decor. All pieces are carefully searched for, selected and restored. Next to great retro furniture, vintage signs you see the love for sports-stuff, better said cycling. Great pieces of vintage woolen cycle shirts are all over the store. So peacocks next time when you visit Pitti Uomo stop by @ UB and see it for yourself.
