For all good things, Indian and non, I go to <a href="http://www.kalustyans.com/" rel="nofollow">Kalustyans</a> on 28th and Lex. They have the most phenomenal selection of spices, rices, and everything nice. I think you can even mail order, but browsing the store is great when you have a free hour or three. The huitlacoche comes in a small can. From what I understand, huitlacoche is near impossible to get fresh so even restaurants use the canned stuff. Sort of disappointing, because I want to see it in action attacking an ear of corn. Last week I tried the huitlacoche quesadillas at Rosa Mexicana - very good and I'm almost positive sure they used the same canned stuff I did. Best of luck! Let me know how it turns out.

Anyway, what I really wanted to ask was where you got the huitlacoche. I'm also in NYC and I'm not sure I'd know where to go!
