Where to buy Vietnamese cinnamon?

I assume Kalustyan's would carry this, but is there any place more in midtown (40s or higher) or on the Upper West Side?

Thanks

Penzey's in Grand Central closed about two weeks ago. It is a big bummer. They had great quality and prices. We actually, I know its heretical, preferred it to Kalustyan's for many spices.

Thanks for the head's up. I actually went to GCT this morning and learned of the closure. It is too bad. Based on a quick review of the website it did look to be more reasonable than Kalustyan's, in addition to having a more convenient location (at least to me). The sign did indicate that another spice shop would open in the space, I think. Hope it's similarly attractive.

Such terrible news! Penzey's does do mail order, and their vietnamese cinnamon is really wonderful potent stuff.

I guess this is what I get for not buying it on those occasions when I was walking by Kalustyan's! I could just never remember exactly what spice I was looking for, and for which dish. Alas. I'll probably just go with regular cinnamon for the tagine I'm hoping to make later this week. And if the recipe turns out well I will be sure to stock up for the future!
