Tue Jan 10 18:38:53 -0800 2006 0 Haley 1 1433143 many of the grocery stores in Park SLope carry them (what a change in our groceries there has been...) just saw them at the Associated on Fifth at Union (dried whole) and pretty sure they are at the Key Food on Fifth at Baltic the spice vendor in the grocery court at Grand Central has really high quality chiles, pasilla included -- closest to Lex and 43/44th St Wed Jan 11 10:25:46 -0800 2006 1433142 0 pitu 2 1433149 I did take a look through the key food on 5th and didn't see it, but I could have missed it (certainly a pretty awesome grocer, however). I will try the other places you mentioned. Some of my research has led me to believe that they are typically found dried whole. Thanks for the info!

The only time I have gotten the powder has been through mail order, though now I just make my own from the pods.
