Black Licorice Specialty Shops

Ah yes, the always polarizing black licorice. Whether you love it or hate it, are there any shops in NYC with an excellent selection? Any BL specialists?

      Buona Italia in the Chelsea market also has natural licorice root if you want to go straight to the source.

        Not a shop, but one of a number of web retailers specializing in many kinds of mostly Dutch licorice, to which I am alas addicted.

              Not sure if they are considered specialists, but Economy Candy on Rivington has a good selection.
