Boston does.  Mango Fransik are often available in season at Whole Foods
Supermarkets and small bodegas.  They are quite expensive, about $1.50 each.  They
are not as good as the ones you eat in Haiti because they are picked green.
Boston's Haymarket which sells over-ripe fresh foods sometimes has them cheap,
about $10 for case of a dozen.
