Where to buy a cast-iron tortilla press in NYC?

Hey folks --

Anyone know where to buy a cast iron tortilla press cheaply in the city? Some Mexican bodega someplace that might sell one?

Thanks so much!

Probably one of the stores on the bowery. Try Bari (my favorite, run by italians) or Chef restaurant supply. Former located west side of bowery just south of houston and latter located northwest corner of bowery and houston. The F,V will get you really close.

Bari is good for bowls and tools, 25% off the listed price.

Chef has a bunch of cambros, although some things you dont know the price until you ask...

Thanks ChickenStu -- It helps to have a recommendation for one of the many Bowery restaurant supply houses... Without any sense for which one to choose, I always just got choice overload and walked away!

I think I saw one in the Williams-Sonoma catalog. It was definitely a tortilla press, it may have been iron, and I doubt it was cheap.

2nd Chef Restaurant Supply. I shop a lot at this store on the northwest corner of Bowery and Houston, particularly because they are open on Saturdays and Sundays.
