Who Can Take A Sunrise, Sprinkle It With Dew?

The new cafe in the Portrait Gallery has a small wall of 5 cent candy.

Thanks Annon! That sounds worth checking out, we love that new courtyard and don’t get over there enough.

That’s fine, but can they make a “groovy lemon pie?”

Wonder if the $3 Sundae continues through Summer!

Yay to more cottage cheese legs, double chins and jelly bellies in PQ.

Are those gummy bears I see??

This old guy remembers peppermint candy icecream from giffords in SS as a kid 30 years ago. Do they still make it?

#7, according to their website they have:

Peppermint Stick: Red Starlight-mint pieces crushed in velvet peppermint ice cream

What the heck are cottage cheese legs?

#9, I think they are made by Haribo

This just-reaching-middle-age guy remembers the Giffords in Silver Spring growing up. A scoop of swiss chocolate or a handmade terrapin (it is Maryland, after all) were always the carrot in front of my cart. I am glad to see the candy counter return.

I hope that movie theatergoers do not stock up on candy to sneak in. As a film professional, I know that a large percentage of revenue for the theater is concessions. Theaters do not make money (for a period of a few weeks) on $12 theater tickets. And the rent at Landmark is high. Just a thought.

Aren’t they one of the few movie theatres to sell beer?

No worries!

I for one am thrilled. If there is one thing that I like more than ice cream, it’s pick-and-mix candy! Thanks for the ‘scoop’, Columbo.
