Can I find Rotel in New York?
Hi there,
I'm a born and raised Austinite, been in NYC for nearly 4 years though now. I would argue that no one loves queso more than me, and I've got witnesses to back that statement up. That said, I've started putting together a "Rotel Map" of all the places I know you can purchase Rotel. In Manhattan you can get regular and chunky at Zabar's on 80th and Broadway and Westside Market on 76th and Broadway for $1.79 a can. In Booklyn, you can get it at the Key Foods on Lorimer and Grand St. in Williamsburg, and until recently they had Regular, Milder, and Festival Mexicano for 1.79 a can, though as of last week they only had Milder, and it was 1.89. Also in Williamsburg/Greenpoint, the Associated on McGuinness has Regular and Festival Mexicano for 1.79 a can. Steep prices, but I argue it's worth every penny. Not too long ago I was near the Prospect park 7th Ave. B/Q station, and there's a grocery across the street that had the Festival Mexicano and Italian also for 1.79.
So like I said, I'm a little obsessed. My dad sent me 31 lbs of Extra hot Rotel and HEB brand Easymelt cheese. Who's the biggest queso fan? This guy.
