PB, I've checked several NY delis and specialty stores, but the cost gets prohibitive for air freight. For example, each pound of corned beef (or pastrami, or tongue) from Katz's exceeds $25 when shipping and packing are added. And the possible risk of spoilage due to mishandling or delay isn't a trivial factor. Anoother: can't get a decent bialy here. I checked Kossar's, on the lower east side. Bialys are about 50 cents--but with shipping, 3 dozen go for close to $100.
