Even though they're not quite in season, can I buy persimmons (Hachiya persimmons, specifically) in NYC this week? Brooklyn or Manhattan, preferably.

I'm in Brooklyn Chinatown (Sunset Park) and so far I've only seen the fuyu variety, for sale in the various produce stands along 8th avenue. But I'll keep a look out and let you know if any hachiya show up!

Call Manhattan Fruit Exchange to ask if they have any.

I'd also call Dean and Deluca, they get crazy random produce.
