For my birthday last year, my coworker gave me some candy from
Papabubble. It was delicious and nostalgic and I knew I had to visit their shop in Little Italy someday. I have gone a couple times now and it is a delight to see them actually making the candy in front of you. Papabubble creates a variety of candies, but my favorite definitely is the lavender. It is sweet, but has this refreshing and relaxing effect - just like when smelling the actual plant. I like to pop one (or five) in my mouth just to mellow out. If you are in New York, you should stop by Papabubble (click
here for a map). Or click
here to visit their website. There are some beautiful photos featuring their candies as well as their shops.
Lavender candy.
