The best thing you can do on your way out to dinner or drinks is to swing in here an pick up a big bag of mixed candies. Everyone will be your best friend for the rest of the night. Try to get at least one piece of the crazy salted licorice...perfect for pranks and general good times.
This store is open crazy hours and is always there when I need it. From it's more than adequate selection of Jelly Belly flavors to its selection of British candies and chips, you can't go wrong satisfying your sweet tooth here.
True, it may be cheaper to run across the street to the Metro or one of the nearby convenience stores, but how else will you get that Willy Wonka moment of excitement when you realize that as an adult, you are now fulfilling your childhood dream of buying candy at nine o'clock at night. Avoid the high priced novelty items, unless of course it's a tin of mints shaped like an NES controller. You will find more uses for that than you would imagine.
