Sugar Factory said in a news release that guests can expect live art installations, musical performances, and "surprises" around every corner.

The vibrant Rainbow Sliders will be available in the restaurant.

Aside from floor-to-ceiling confections (my bet: it will actually be on the ceiling, too), the museum will offer a dessert marketplace—with tastings and demos—and a 75-seat cafe that will serve up Sugar Factory's standard menu, like its 24-scoop sundae, according to the announcement. The 5,000-square-foot marketplace will include around 20 vendors, selling everything from bakeware to candy by the pound. You'll be able to access the restaurant and market without a ticket to the museum.

I don't anticipate heavy history lessons here, but kids will probably absorb facts along the way as they point and squeal at the wonders of the space, right? It certainly sounds more substantial than the Museum of Ice Cream pop-up from two summers ago, but perhaps just as 'gram-worthy. Expect birthday party packages and other special private event options.

Although an official opening date for NYC is not yet set, the Sugar Factory already has plans to open two more locations: Los Angeles in late 2019 and a third, yet-to-be-determined spot after that.

The Museum of Candy will be located at 656 6th Avenue and will open in 2019. Visit its site for updates on the timing and events, and in the meantime, satisfy that sweet tooth with a visit to NYC's only chocolate museum, or perhaps one of these mega candy stores.

This story has been edited to reflect updated information about the museum opening date. It was originally scheduled for summer 2018 and is now scheduled to open in 2019.
