      <content>According to a menupages find-a-food search:

Armani, Bacaro, Montenapo, San Pietro, Serafina--all midtown except Bacaro.  I don't think I've had it outside of the Jewish quarter of Rome.  Are you limited to outer boroughs?

      <content>DiFara used to have them fairly regularly, but I think trying to get them these days would probably be an exercise in futility.</content>

      <content>Areo in Bay Ridge has them as a special when they are in season.  They are a reason to go eat there alone.</content>

      <content>I had stuffed zucchini flowers a few weeks ago at al di la in Park Slope, and they were excellent. (Though not as good as those in Rome -- but then, what is?) I think they were a special, though, so I don't know if they'd be there now. Might be worth a phone call to find out.</content>

      <content>Are you looking for the zucchini flowers to make yourself or a restaurant that has them on a menu?  You can probably purchase flowers at a farmers market or if any of your neighbors have a gardens, flowers are in abundance now and they make give you some.  As for restaurants, they would be few and far between to have flowers on their menu.</content>
