Where can I find plastic iced-coffee cups in NYC?

Where can I buy large quantities of those plastic cups (with lids with straw-holes) that you get with iced coffee or tea in a coffee shop? (I'm in NYC.)

Look for restaurant supply stores. Avoid those that specialize only in hard goods.

I get mine at a dollar store. The particular dollar store carries all sorts of cups plates saucers forks knives spoons aluminum baking pans beer cups etc etc and I had to seek it out amongst the others in my area. Being the brat that I am, I must have my drinks from the proper disposible-ware or I won't drink it.

If you stroll down Bowery from Houston, you will find them within a block, from multiple sources.
