    Where do they sell them in Chelsea Market? We popped into the Thai place there but came out empty-handed.

      Thai chilis should be available at the Manhattan Food Exchange in Chelsea Market (looks like a huge fruit and veg store)

        Kalustyan's, Little India, Foods Of India....all within a block of each other so you'll be well served in that neighborhood.

        I know a place in chinatown or Chelsea market, but was hoping to find something a bit closer to midtown.

          I think Little India has them, on 28th St. And also Foods of India, on Lex/28th.

          It's not midtown, but Bangkok Center Grocery on Moscoe has them, along with all kinds of other hard to find Thai ingredients. For what it's worth, I've seen what I think are also thai chilis in other chinatown markets, including the one on the south side of Bayard between Mott and Mulberry.
