Rancho Gordo or other good dried beans?
Is there anywhere to buy Rancho Gordo beans in Manhattan? It would be great to save shipping.
Alternatively, any other source of very good dried beans in the city? Any vendors at greenmarkets, etc?
Thanks!

Maggie, I live in Midtown, have a pathological hatred of paying shipping charges, am always looking to combine orders with others to ease the pain, and want to put together another RG order sometime soon (but would prefer to wait until they get in the giant limas from Peru). I think you can probably contact me through Chow if you're interested in splitting the shipping charges--$4.50 is somewhat more palatable than $9.

I called....Marlow and Sons is the only place in proximity that carries them. She said that the store at Blue Hill at Stone Barns also carries them but just the location in Pocantino Hills, not here in the city.

re: maggiej
wow, that is pretty steep (they were steep enough at $5). Maybe I'll go forward with the mail order after all. But I'll still stop in at Marlow and Sons to check it out since I'm in Greenpoint a couple of days a week. Thanks for the tip!
Did you buy any beans? What did you think?

re: Budino
bought cannelini and a black-and-white variety. The cannelini were very good, creamy and well structured, not sure it's worth the $$$...my friend got beautiful black salt at Marlow and Sons, but given the prices, not sure it's worth the trek for those who aren't already in the neighborhood. I asked if they had Anson Mills Grits, and they said they sometimes do, when they are on the menu at the restaurant. Haven't found any other sources for those.
