Why are they so hard to find? Thanks much.

Amaros like campari, cynar, averna etc are readily available. I dont know about amer picon. Fri Feb 06 09:43:44 -0800 2009 4393174 11130 jen kalb 1 4393340 Amer Picon isn't available in the US now. Tragic. I love love love a Picon Punch. You might want to specify where in Brooklyn. One fine spot that I know of is LeNell's in Red Hook. Most midsized liquor stores will have a few things like Campari, and maybe Averna or Cynar.

Kalustyan's in Manhattan has a bunch, too, but I think LeNell's is the place. As for the real amaros and stuff like Cynar and Aperol you'll need to hit a liquor store, but most places stock them.
