🪺 Happy Easter!!! 🐇

So, come enjoy a bevy of delights with our first guest “Ray!” Listen closely as he regales patrons with tales from his illustrious past, like the time he was present at an undersea, unexplained mass sponge migration…or breaks into song and dance while he prepares your treats!

“I’m thrilled to watch Dr. Stantz work his magic!” said Ray Alvarez, the 93-year-old proprietor of the longstanding dessert shop on Avenue A. “I’m a fan of his work. It’s one of the great collaborations in Ray’s Candy Store history!”

She’s my Avenue A girl (from midnight til dawn) That’s the one for me (she’s the only one for me) She’s my Avenue A girl (Every sip, every bite, every look she throws…)

She likes to order chili cheese fries, That plate of gold delights shinin’ in her eyes. A late night queen with a cool retro sway,
 Let’s hear it for the girl, she’s from Avenue A...

LL Cool Ray's got bars!!! "Avenue A Girl" I want a girl with two beignets in her hand, Powder sugar fallin’, she don’t give a damn. Strolls into Ray’s when the clock strikes two, Neon lights on her face, put me in a good mood...
