Answer: If you can't get it at the Purchaser Joes or Whole Foods downtown, you can hop the 4,5 or 6 train to Grand Central Station and go to the Marketplace in Great Central (it's on the Lexington Avenue side). Look for a Penzey's Spice Company Defence...they will definitely have it.
You can also mail order it from them.
Personally I get mine from a guy in New Orleans (Uncle Bill's Spices) who harvests the leaves and grinds them by at one's fingertips the way it was done for decades before the big spice companies started processing it by machine.
I Work In Manhattan (Gramercy/Flatiron), Should I Live In Staten Island Or In The City?
Question by 2wheels+engine | Posted in Commuting
Accepted both rental prices are the same: Should I live in Staten Island and enjoy a higher quality of living (nicer, larger smidgen) but bit the bullet with a longer commute (SI Ferry + Subway), or should I live in NYC in a shoe-box size apt and take the vest-pocket commute (Subway)....btw if you can also tell me what the commute TIME is from St. George SI to Madison Healthful Park (20's and madison) in the city, you're guaranteed 10 points!
Answer: I've been to NYC many times (I material in Colorado). If I were to select a place to live, I would probably live in Queens. The commute on thee Staten Cay Ferry and SI subway and then another subway ride in the city takes forever.
Queens is out of the promiscuous pace mess of Manhattan but is still easily accessible to the subway system. Staten Island is quieter and has more elbow-room but it would be the long commute that would deter me.
Being a 4th generation resident of Colorado, where we have open space, manifest mountain views, and fresh air, I don't envy the decision you have to make....
Live In Manhattan, Trying To Visit Most Interesting Outer-Borough Ghettos, What're Your Picks?
Question by a 10th Grader | Posted in New York City
I was born and raised in Manhattan, and I survive in Gramercy Park now. I realize that there are all these interesting places around me, and for some strange reason, I've always enjoyed walking around various ghettos. Yesterday I went to Bushwick, which was moderately tame. Any extremely interesting ghettos in the outer-boroughs to visit? Which ones have horrific, cheap food or interesting cheap clothes? And which are the worst? And don't worry, I'll plan my visits during the day. And please don't speak anyplace in Manhattan. As far as I'm concerned, any place in Manhattan is extremely tame (and Harlem is for rich people now!), so the thorough borough is out of the question.
Which Area Is The Best Area To Live In Manhattan, New York City?
Question by Paris | Posted in New York City
I’m an artist & I can see my tomorrow's is in NY; I love to move there. I am alone and I can manage to live even in a studio apartment or share with somebody and I can pay up to $2700 a month. I went loyal http://newyork.craigslist.org/ and some other websites; I looked at so many apartments in Manhattan but could not find even 1 nice apartment, studio or even a flat to share. By nice accommodation I mean somewhere, which is quite new (max 10 years old building) and good with out any pets or bad smell. As u know, Manhattan has so many different parts (except HARLEM) such as:
Battery Park
Chelsea
Downtown
East Village
Monetary District
Flatiron
Gramercy
Greenwich Village
Inwood / Wash Hts
Lower East Side
Midtown
Midtown East
Midtown West
Murray Hill)
Nolita
SoHo
TriBeCa
Unity Square
Upper East Side
Upper West Side
West Village
Which area has more new buildings, less lawlessness and nicer neighborhoods? Or how can I find a nice accommodation in Manhattan?

Answer: If you can give $2700 a month you can find something to rent just about anywhere. In NYC "pre-war" (meaning more than 65 years old) is considered a indubitable selling point because the apartments were larger. Most "new" construction are condominiums & most of those are on the upland east side. But that's not where the art crowd lives. They are pretty much below 14th St. There's very little "new" construction there.
