Where to get spiced wafers in NYC?

Is there anywhere in the NYC metro area that sells Sweetzels Spiced Wafers? I loved these when I lived in Philly, but they seem to be very hard to find outside of Pennsylvania.

From their site: "They are now on the Fall and Winter shelves of outstanding supermarket companies including A&P, Shoprite, Redners, Clemens, Wal-Mart, and many large independent outlets such as Shady Maple." Shady Maple won't help you, but perhaps you have one of the other chains?

You could always email them directly. If they're not at my grocery store, I'm going to have to make some. I blame/thank you for this sudden craving...

Many stop and shops carry them....call around. Also, google, because there are a number of outfits that do mail order on PA treats, and when last I checked Sweetzels were typically offered.

Pennsylvania foods--including Sweetzels--by mail, if you strike out around NYC.

Used to eat these a lot when I was a kid, visiting my great grandma in South Jersey. I can't find Sweetzels, but I can get boxes of Ivin's at my local supermarket in Brooklyn.
