I work in midtown Manhattan as a computer programmer. After months of casually checking out the nearby Delis, I’m still subsisting on Mountain Dew when I would prefer to have a chilly 6-pack of Jolt or Bawls (that new Guarana stuff). Anyone know where the heck one goes in the City of New York to obtain Jolt or Bawls?
