Ocean City, NJ | leisure | 0.5 to 1 hours
William Shriver opened a restaurant, ice cream and candy store at 9th and the Boardwalk in 1898, which makes this the oldest business on the boards. Four Philadelphia brothers from the Dairy Maid Confectionery chain bought it in 1959, and their family runs it three generations on. When the sign goes up, the front windows look onto machines that pull 100 pounds of taffy at a time and wrap 300 to 400 pieces a minute. Around 60 flavors run from chocolate and molasses mint through sea salt caramel, spicy pumpkin and the Twisted line, with chocolate-covered and sugar-free pieces too; roughly 40 pieces make a pound, and you can build your own mix.
