WHERE CAN I FIND A MANHATTAN SPECIAL???

Just got back from New York, and forgot how awesome they are. For those of you that don't know, it's a bottled cola/espresso drink.) Where can I find this delicious concoction here in Lala land?? (And don't say Duck Soup in the Grove--they used to, but then stopped, and now I think they're closed) HELP!!

    I think my favorite part about going to Galco is hording all the other sodas that I like to keep around, like Dublin Dr Pepper, the Manhattan Cream Soda, and Bundaberg Ginger Beer.

        It's possible....Bob the owner (married to a Claro daughter) is from Brooklyn.

        you can also check with the beverage warehouse in culver city/mdr if you are on the westside. i'd give them a call first though.

          Nice! I think I'll call up BevMo, because Mr. Marcels and Galco's probably sell them for a few bucks apiece--I'm looking for a six or twelve pack. But I will be going to both of those places if BevMo fails me...

            God, you're right, and I like the fact that the Diet one tastes wonderful , too.

            I get mine at Galco, although I've seen them at Bevmo.

              Galco's has them as the other poster mentioned, but they are Eagle Rock / Highland Park area. Don't know where you live, but I've also purchased them at Damiano's Mr. Pizza (on Fairfax just south of Melrose) as well as at Monsieur Marcel's market in the 3rd and Fairfax farmer's market.

                Galco's Soda Pop Shop has it.......
