Looking for King Cake

Does anybody know where I can find a Madri Gras King Cake at a decent price in Manhattan?

        I decided to just order online because they ship all year round. And it's not a bad price. I'll be ordering one soon so I'll keep you posted if its worth it. But we did find a French king cake seller in grand central station but I was looking for the new Orleans style one. But not sure if they still have any.

            online, order form either Haydel's Bakery or Rouses. I'm from NOLA, and they are the best of the online king cakes.

            I just inhaled a heavenly hash filled king cake from Rouses.

            hi leah! Epicerie Boulud will serve a different version of King's Cake starting on March 1st. the January one was excellent - so light and airy. can't wait to try the Mardi Gras one.

                the january one was very flaky with an almond paste filling. apparently the march one will be more like mardi gras style.

          3. Have you checked online to see about having one shipped? I order and ship all the time. They always arrive fresh. Avg price tho is about $35 w/shipping.

              I've lived in Nola for 12 years and my hands-down favorite is Randazzo's Camellia City. They are a little pricier to ship, though.
