Although it first opened up shop in New York City, Dylan’s has expanded to other major cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami. But its flagship, located on 1011 3rd Avenue is considered a favorite among New Yorkers and tourists, thanks to its pop-art installations on the ground floor and fudge and ice cream bar on the bottom floor.
