I started the topic this way so it would be broad, but I have a specific request:

Anyone know where I can find Spanish paprika aka pimenton in DC? Whole Foods in Tenleytown doesn't have it and neither do some other local supermarkets I checked. Thanks.

Whole Foods P Street is where I picked up my Spanish paprika

A&H Seafood in Bethesda has both hot and dulce (not hot) pimenton.

That's where I buy mine--good prices. But I have also seen it at Sur la Table, Balducci, Dean and Deluca and I think I saw it at Penzey's.

You should also ensure that your pimenton comes from "D.O. La vera". It does make a difference and once again I agree with Zora, A&H is the place to go for pimenton.
