Elk Candy is a small local confectioner on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I don't know if they ship to any great extent. My son and I love to go in there not only for the interesting and always high-quality chocolate stuff, marzipan pigs, gingerbread houses, etc., but also for the sort of cartoony stereotype "surly Euro-trash" manner of the owner, who generally mans the counter in the afternoons. He kinda reminds me of Mike Myers as Dieter, the host of 'Sprockets' on SNL ("Your story has grown tiresome...")


They also sell house-made chocolate langues du chat, I discovered yesterday.
