I'm trying to find out the name of a candy store that was on 180th street between Daly Ave and Vyse. On the corner of Daly and 180th there was a fruit store and at the other end on Vyse & 180th was an appetizing store. In the middle there was a Bakery and a Deli.

Laurie, could this be it....

Weinberg's
181st St & Corner of Daly Ave
1941-1960's
"This was a hangout store, especially on Friday nights. It was a small candy store with a few steps going down. They had a soda fountain, made egg creams and sold a variety of candy and gum". Another possibility is Goldman's (same area)

My resource is a great publication titled "The Bronx, Lost, Found, and Remembered published by Steve Samtur (BITB CEO) and Martin Jackson.

No Mike thanks but that's not it. I know the owners sons name was Johnny Turchin and they were Polish. The store was 2 doors down from my Uncles fruit store The Daily Fruit Exchange on 180th.

Was the name of the candy store Heckerling's ?

It's amazing how memories come flooding back sometimes. I remember Koenig's Candy Store on Westchester and Evergreen. Mrs. Koenig made the absolutely BEST egg-creams. She had this technique; she would put the glass at an angle so that the seltzer would go dowm the side of the glass, and produce the PERFECT head on the egg-cream, maybe one inch or so. I think they used Fox's U-Bet chocolate syrup, and it was SOOOOOOO good. It was a tough decision to have a Lime Rickey or an egg cream on a real hot day; either way, I was a winner.

Thank you, Mrs. Koenig!!!

Never ventured that far, but there was a candy store on Westchester between Ward and Boynton, near the movie, run by this lovely old couple. They always put a spoon of ice cream in their egg creams and they were wonderful.

Hmmm, not sure about the store on Westchester Ave. but I remember my neighbourhood candy store was Adelson's on Watson Ave. between Ward and Boynton.....Think it was owned by two brothers, "Red" and Artie.....One of their son's turned me on to the thrill of 'funny cigarettes' in 1967!!! What a great memory THAT is!!! LOL

I went to Adelson's all the time, lived on Bruckner between Strafford and Manor Ave. Attended ps93 jhs123 and James Monroe HS, left the Bronx in 71 during my junior year at JM.

Adelson's, Zimmies (later Diskin and Frieda), Sid and Ruth.

Was Adelson's the one that sold Louis Sherry Ice Cream? What about the candy store at Boynton and Bruckner in the late 40s? Those were the two I went to.
