How New York’s Legendary Economy Candy Is Staying Afloat in Coronavirus Era

Economy Candy, a legendary sugar shop on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, is staying afloat during the coronavirus pandemic, one handful of treats at a time. Things looked pretty sweet when InsideEdition.com visited Economy Candy this past December. But then the coronavirus pandemic happened. The store now has just two employees, owners Mitchell and Skye Cohen. The Cohens say they’re still doing curbside pickup. For those farther afield, they’re sending CandyCare packs via mail.
