Weekend's parting shots

Photos yesterday by Stacie Joy 

Yesterday (Saturday!) saw the launch of "Candy Store," a years-in-the-making photo documentary about Ray's Candy Store. 

Photographer Whitney Browne worked part-time at Ray's from 2012-2017 and documented the late-night scene there. 

A percentage of each sale will go to Ray. And yesterday, the book sales generated $1,000 for Ray.

A few copies remain at the shop, 113 Avenue A near Seventh Street. Some are also available on Whitney's website and in select bookstores.
