Question: Need to buy a wooden cane in NYC

Tonight I need to buy a wooden walking cane in NYC tonight. It's supposed to be sturdy and not retractable. The grip doesn't matter. Any ideas where I can buy one? The average places like KMart and Duane Reade seem to offer only aluminum and fiberglass canes.

Some of the more trendy accessory stores I used to pass sold them - the kind that also sold fancy leather belts. They looked more like fashion accessories (walking sticks) than practical canes, but they might be what you are looking for.

(I moved offices, and no longer pass the one store that used to display them along my commute.)
