Default where to cut a key in NYC metro?

my key case finally gave up. ive already bought a replacement key, but i need to have it cut. besides the dealership, is there someone in the area who can cut these keys at a reasonable price?

Go to the DMV:

2875 West 8th Street
Brooklyn, NY 11224

I think they cut keys there for 15 dollars back in 2004 the last time I owned a Lexus, but thats the cost of buying the key from them. It should be cheaper if you have your own key, but they cannot program your key if its chipped or anything.

i thought about buying that vw style flip key but once it starts to wear, it looks really bad. what i mean is, the blade doesnt stay in the case.
