4. Babeland
Lower East SideSure you can shop online for sex toys for maximum anonymity, but if you want to see and touch the goodies IRL before you purchase, this is the place to go. The staff is friendly and helpful, but not in a way that’ll make you uncomfortable, and there are plenty of lubes and dress-up clothes as well.

5. Bode
Lower East SideMenswear boutique or art installation? It can be hard to tell here, since the unique clothes—most made with repurposed, American, vintage fabrics and manufactured in NYC—are displayed in what looks like a rustic lodge. Some of the funky home decor items are also for sale.

7. Economy Candy
Lower East SideOh, to be a kid in a candy store! Economy Candy has been making life sweeter since 1937, and the floor-to-ceiling shelves and candy-and-nut dispensers here are filled with bulk specialty and brand-name goodies, from every flavor of gummy candy and jelly bean—you can purchase by flavor or just by color—to nuts, halvah, and chocolate-covered everything. There are also everyday chocolate bars like Baby Ruth, Butterfinger, and M&Ms (available in bulk or in five-pound bags). If you’ve never tried Canadian chocolate bars like Coffee Crisp, Aero, and Crispy Crunch, you’re in for a treat.

9. Kallmeyer
Lower East SideBegun as a pop-up in 2019, there was enough fanfare about South African–born, New York–based Daniella Kallmeyer's understated, earth-toned women's pieces that it went permanent on Orchard Street soon after. A favorite place to shop among New York's art scene crowd, the shop also features the designer's favorite brands of vintage jewelry.

12. The Pickle Guys
Lower East SideIn the late 1800s, pickle sellers were a dime a dozen—or to be more exact, a penny a cucumber, which went up to around a nickel by the early 1900s: it was cheap snack, and there were pickle vendors selling their wares from pushcarts and giant barrels all over the Lower East Side. It's said that at one point there were 200 pickle sellers on Essex Street alone, but these days there's only one left: The Pickle Guys.
