Ray's Candy Store

The fried Oreos are to die for, not kidding. You have to go here and try them! Also they were open during the blizzard so you know they're legit.

I ordered a half dozen beignets but the very kind old lady behind the counter gave me a full dozen for the same price. Excellent folks here.

Loved every single thing about the store! Ray is such an amazing personality and the icecream is just beyong delicious

Old World Chocolate ice cream, 4 bucks, giant portion, will keep you happy and entertained as you stroll through Tompkins Square Park. I love it when non-locals ask me where I got that ice cream, and I can send them over to Ray's. Also great: the hot dogs, and whoever is behind the counter. Places like this make me feel at home.

Food:
- Ice cream soda - $4, 6, 8 for for S, M, L - pricey for ice cream soda - I also never actually saw these specific prices listed (saw some conflicting other ones though). They use soft serve ice cream.
- Beignets - $4, 7 for1/2 dozen or dozen - It is fried, right when you order it - yum! A half dozen is enough for 2 people I'd say. They are more like munchkin sized zeppolis, with powdered sugar, then beignets as I'm used to dipping sauce with them.

Ambiance:
- tiny place to order to-go from
- there are 90s like signs and posters for the menu items everywhere - various desserts of the deep fried batter variety like you see during street fairs and Little Italy, as well as various soft serve ice cream based desserts
