Makes me a little nostalgic for New York -- maybe I need to go visit the family....!

As leethebard mentioned, many of the items are available in other places -- the Wegman's closest to me (in Virginia) has good black and white cookies.

Don't see much here you can't get many other places...even the ingredients for an egg cream are readily available!!

As I said on another thread, the thing I miss most not living in the NYC area is a good "hard roll" & it's not available on that list.

I can see thousands of these items being shipped to ex-pat NY'ers as holiday gifts/care packages.

I just came across this website
http://www.newyorkfirst.com/floors/1.html
that mails "traditional" NYC items. One "floor" (the pretend they are an old-fashioned department store like Macy's - or B. Altmans, Gimbels, other RIP's) that sells desserts and confections (now there's an old word for you) I think it's hit or miss.

I agree with these:
Chocolate covered marshmallows, Black and white cookies, Junior's cheesecake, maybe Bazzini nuts, Egg creams, Junior's Rugelach, and - now - cupcakes. The utensils (ice cream scoop, sundae dish) are OK, too.

But some seem just a "sell."

Old timers, what do you think?
