Sugar was only discovered by western Europeans as a result of the Crusades in the 11th Century AD. Crusaders returning home talked of this new spice and how pleasant it was. The first sugar was recorded in England in 1099. The subsequent centuries saw a major expansion of western European trade with the East, including the importation of sugar. It is recorded, for instance, that sugar was available in London at two shillings a pound in 1319 AD.
This is not the first time there has been a business called the Sugar Factory on Gansevoort Street. New York's first Sugar Factory opened in 1781, but it was an actual factory for imported cane sugar, and they only had boiled eggs and sliced pickled tongue for lunch, which workers ate in total silence.
