Where can I find/buy purslane in Manhattan?

I love it and cannot find it anywhere...I've even searched for it on street corners seen as it's considered a weed around here.

    I saw it at several stands at Union Square today including Lani's Farm (former Yuno's). Last Saturday I saw it at Pfaffenroth, too. I guess purslane is in season cause it was all over the market.

      USQ Greenmarket. I forget the name of the stand, but they're usually around 16th Street and Union Square West.

        I have bought it at the Union Square greenmarket, but have not really looked for it for a while. I believe it is a real summer plant, and may be more in evidence in a few weeks.
