641008 Fri Jul 31 12:54:46 -0700 2009 8 18 Manhattan 0 4907035 I went to Astor liquors thinking of all places they would, but apparently bitters is considered a food and can't be sold in liquor stores. Any thoughts? Fri Jul 31 12:54:46 -0700 2009 291819 gastronomad 1 4907046 Most grocery stories will have the usual Angostura or Regan's. Kalustyan's has a much more extensive collection, including Fee Brother's bitters. I've definitely seen grapefruit bitters, rhubarb bitters, orange bitters, etc. Fri Jul 31 12:57:56 -0700 2009 4907035 10936 kathryn 2 4907095 Awesome! Thanks! I live right around the corner from there. Fri Jul 31 13:11:38 -0700 2009 4907046 291819 gastronomad 3 4907251 In addition to the wide range of Fee Brother's bitters, Kalustyan's carries the new Angostura orange bitters, Regan's, and Peychaud's. They also have gum arabic for making gomme syrup, pomegranate molasses to turn into grenadine, orange/rose flower waters, and all kinds of other fun stuff. Fri Jul 31 13:57:45 -0700 2009 4907095 10641 big o 4 4907276 Yes Kalustyan's has great bitters/other cocktail related ingredients as mentioned. In addition to the other stuff mentioned, the Fee Bros Whiskey Barrel bitters is great stuff. I wonder if they're stocking the much anticipated Bittermen's Xocolatl Mole bitters, come to think of it. Fri Jul 31 14:06:21 -0700 2009 4907251 261979 brettnyc 4 4907307 Yup, and frozen concentrate upstairs (mango, white peach, etc) in the freezer section as well as various kinds of sugars/sugar syrups if you really must have sugar cane syrup as opposed to regular old simple syrup. They'd better not have the Bittermen's mole bitters, 'cause I just bought some off the internet! Fri Jul 31 14:14:58 -0700 2009 4907251 10936 kathryn 5 4907342 LOL! I'll be strolling by Kalustyans later tonight and will report on the bittermen's situation. Fri Jul 31 14:26:26 -0700 2009 4907307 261979 brettnyc 5 4907678 Ok, I just checked this out. Fortunately for your internet order, but unfortunately for easy Xocolatl bitters access, Kalustyan's does not currently have it. BUT...I spoke with the manager(?), the guy with the beard, and discussed with him. It sounded like he had not yet heard of this, but I mentioned to him that the Bittermen's Xocolatl and Grapefruit bitters are newly available to retail and very highly regarded, and he seemed intrigued. So maybe if we're lucky he'll order some and new yorkers will have an easy bricks and mortar place to stock up on this stuff, as opposed to needing to do online orders. I encourage other hounds to keep bringing this up to them so Kalustyan's will give Bittermens a go! Fri Jul 31 16:28:51 -0700 2009 4907307 261979 brettnyc 6 4947104 Thanks to everyone who has posted for the info. I also wanted to note that Fee Brothers has announce an new Aztec Chocolate bitter. Hopefully that'll be available at Kalustyan's soon. Fri Aug 14 13:38:43 -0700 2009 4907678 13668 ehoenes
