“Upon
arriving at the Lexington Candy Shop, stop and enjoy our historical Coca Cola
display, gathered from around the world.
Everyone enjoys this display of American “Pop” history. Our display includes Coca Cola toy trains and
trucks, as well as unusual bottles and cans.
The bottles are generally from U.S. regional celebrations and
sporting events, while the international cans and bottles show the global side
of Coca Cola. Our display is constantly
growing through our own acquisitions as well as “gifts and donations” from our
customers and visitors.
Once in the
luncheonette, notice the 1940 vintage Hamilton Beach
milk shake mixer located next to the coffee urns dating from 1948. The soda fountain, with its goose neck soda
and water arms also dates from 1948, when sodas and ice cream drinks were and
are still made by hand with the skillful touch of the “soda jerk”. When seated,
take a moment to enjoy the décor which is painstakingly maintained as
authentically as possible. An original
menu is on display, as well as pictures of the store, as it originally was,
along with pictures of our founders. Pictures
of a few of our celebrity customers, as well as a picture of the famous 1955
Brooklyn Dodgers World Champions are on view as well. Our expert staff will answer any questions you
may have about the menu or our history. Picture taking is welcome. Sit back,
(unless you’re on a stool) and enjoy our timeless food and beverages. As you
enjoy your meal or beverage, you will understand why the Restaurant News has
this to say about us: “A David among Goliaths in Gotham City, the Lexington Candy Shop is like a page in
food service history bringing to life the energy and attentiveness of a bygone
era”.
We look
forward to welcoming you to a step back in time!
Here you
can see and enjoy a “fresh” Coca Cola made for you just as it was in 1925.
Quench your thirst with a fresh “squeezed to order” lemonade which has
been voted “Best in New York”
three times by the New York Times and the New York Daily News. Enjoy a
classic American milk shake or malted acclaimed as the “Best of New York” by
New York Magazine. With all syrups blended or made on premises and using
super premium ice cream, the shakes and malts are truly amazing. All this
in a setting the New York Daily News has described as a “clean, cheerful,
wonderfully preserved luncheonette that does fabulous soda fountain drinks”. One drink not to be missed is a Classic New
York City Egg Cream. Generations have enjoyed this refreshing drink
(no, it does not have an egg); and nobody does it better! We have been
featured on the Food Network on three separate occasions: for our Ice
Cream Sundaes, our Lemonades and our Egg Creams, which have also been featured
on Japan’s
#1 nightly news show. Enjoying a simple grilled cheese sandwich, a burger done
just right, or a fantastic Lexington Special, all satisfy your comfort
food craving. Our breakfast is always available. Our pancakes and
French toast are internationally acclaimed by Le Guide Du Routard, Lonely Planet,
and Le Petit Fute. Or enjoy our egg dishes which are always cooked to
perfection. Our luncheonette is also no stranger to Hollywood. Many commercials and
advertisements have been shot on location here. We have appeared in Three
Days of the Condor with Robert Redford, The Nanny Diaries with Scarlett
Johansson and Kojak with Telly Savalas.”
