Sweeties Candy NYC recently debuted in the lower level at 93 First Ave., just south of Sixth Street.
The shop leans into two current trends: pick-and-mix candies (#candiesTikTok and #SwedishCandyTikTok) and photo booths.
Sweeties offers 160 varieties of candy from around the world... (and yes, they have Bubs, the skull-shaped candy gummies — #BubsTikTok.)
When we stopped by, the photo booths hadn't been set up yet...
You can follow Sweetie's on Instagram or TikTok.
Posted hours: 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Many readers-residents know this space as the longtime home of Royal Bangladesh Indian Restaurant, which ran from 1978 to 2022... and as one of the three restaurants at the address with Milon and Panna II, which still enjoys viral moments of its own.
This basement space was previously home for a minute or two to the apostrophe-free Smokers Basement, a smoke shop-exotic snack joint.
