Mangosteens in NYC

I guess this is a little late to mention, but they've been selling fresh mangosteens (irradiated) in Manhattan's Chinatown this summer at most of the stands for $7 a pound. Just in case anybody didn't realize and was missing out.

I also saw a jackfruit at one of the stands this Spring, but that was the only time.

I assume sugar-apples are coming soon again, as I've bought them before in late summer. Does anybody know where to buy soursop or atemoya in NYC? How about the local fruit pawpaws? Anybody know where to buy any other obscure fruits? The only thing I haven't found yet that they apparently have is breadfruit and guineps in the West Indian markets in Brooklyn.

Breadfruit I've seen along Liberty Ave. in Richmond Hill, Queens, and even on occasion at the Essex Market on the Lower East Side. Guineps I know better under another name, quenepas. My Morningside Heights street-cart vendor sells them; so does Vaquero Fruits, at the Red Hook Ball Fields:
