Angostura Bitters - Where are they?

I heard there is a shortage of Angostura Bitters and would like to know if anyone knows where I can find them now.

    1. Shaws, Sav-Mor Liquors, Boston Shaker, not sure if the shortage hit locally. I have seen them pretty much everywhere

          They're almost impossible to find in Manhattan. Are you in Boston?

                  where did you try looking? they are food products only in grocery stores in ny for whatever crazy misguided law governs that

                      I have tried Gristedes, D'Agastinos, and Food Emporium. The plant in Trinidad was shut down for a while and stopped production due to financial problems I read.

                          Arrrgh! I am a victim of the NYC scarcity, too. Today I tried the overpriced Amish Market, where they told me something about the company holding them back due to packaging, or only selling in pallets, or ...???

                              I ended up ordering them from Amazon, which really was Kegworks. They came pretty quickly, but still had to wait about 3 to 4 days. That was about two weeks ago, not sure if they still have them.

                                  Thanks! I've also noticed they are on Kalustyan's website so they may have them in-store.

                        2. I'm outside of Philly and can't find them in the 'burbs or the city, except in far flung locations. ARGH.
