Mom-and-pop diner saw business boom after influencer shared Coke float

A diner went viral on for it's old-fashioned coke float and now the 1925's 'luncheonette' is serving 500 floats a day.

The Lexington Candy Shop in NYC was established in 1925 and remodeled in 1948 - but it wasn't until 2022 that this old school restaurant became an exclusive highly-sought-after spot... for a coke float.

Viral TikToker Nicholas Heller shared a video to his 1.4 million followers in August, 2022 documenting his visit to the NYC diner that 'serves Coke the old-fashioned way'. The TikTok showed as the sever whipped up a glass of Coca-Cola from scratch and added a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
