Ray’s Candy Store is less than a mile from CBGBs, so you never knew who would pop in for some love and ice cream. “Tompkins Square Park is the place where Agnostic Front, the Beastie Boys, Death Before Dishonor, Antidote, Murphy’s Law, the Psychos, the Abused, Cause For Alarm, the Undead, Heart Attack and a few other bands were always hanging out between shows in the early 80s,” according to the Hardcore-Lover’s guide. Anthony Bourdain and Harley Flanagan, founding member of the band Cro-Mags, visited the store while Bourdain drank some egg cream and compiled information for a story about the East Village.
