Unfortunately I have had little luck finding any pu-erh in Boston's
Chinatown as I have looked there several times. I lived near there for
a little over a year. Great fish but very little pu-erh!

I guess it depends on how much time you have and what you would rather
be doing. I have spent whole days looking around that section of town
to no avail, but if you have nothing better to do then why not?
Personaly I would take a puer wrapper with you and eat at one of the
larger restaurants, then ask your waiter if he can help you find it. As
has been suggested you might try the grocery stores, there are 2 big
ones there that I know of. What you find in the Grocery stores will be
the cheap commodity stuff, but if they have any it will be priced much
lower than the same thing from the Internet vendors.
