Default Toe in the (dirty) water

Don't know about pu-erhs in NYC Chinatown. Big Apple tearoom there has one
puerh disc on display, but I don't know anything about it. Maybe Lew Perin
will see this thread and suggest places. He's our eminent Chinatown
explorateur.

Too bad you won't get to IPOT. My guess is they're the best local place to buy
pu-erh. Of course, they do mail-order too.

I was in Ito En (Japanese tea purveyor) on Madison Ave. circa 69th St. (or is
it 79th) about a month ago when, oddly enough, they had brewed pu-erhs for
sampling. One of them seemed quite good.
