Like other commenters, I also love this place. However, it definitely lost a lot of its magic when it started catering to the tourist crowd.

Thirty years ago, you could get cheap bulk candy here. I once needed a very large amount of Runts - they had a 25lb bag. 5lb Hershey bar brick, they had you. They had bulk dried fruit, halvah, Turkish delight, chocolate fruit cordials. All of that is gone to make room for more novelties like "Bitch Pills".

That said, they haven't ditched the collection of antique games and toys, and the current owner has the same distinct voice his father did, so still top tier nostalgia.
