Had a prescription filled in 15 minutes and browsed for a few odds and ends in the meantime. The store is tidy and has all the essentials, though pricey, and seems to be the drugstore closest to the hospital complex.

It’s rinky-dink, buy does the job. In this seemingly desolate stretch of the Upper East Side that is more inhabited by hospitals and medical offices than residents, this Duane Reade is still old and antiquated and SMALL, but has the basics you need in a pinch. Goodness knows, over the past five years, I’m glad it’s there on the days I’ve ripped my pantyhose and needed a new pair while at work across the street. It’s nice to pick up a quick prescription. It definitely caters to patrons leaving any of the local hospitals with a myriad of medical products(crutches, slings, wheelchairs, other comfort care items). It ain’t my top choice, and if I did live in this neighborhood, I’d certainly make the trek to the CVS on 72nd and 2nd or the big and sexy Duane Reade up on 1st and 72nd. Still, in a pinch, I’m thankful this Duane Reade exists than if it didn’t at all. Better than nothing. P. S.: CASHBACK! FINALLY! Duane Reade, you’ve waited long enough… yeesh…THANKYOU.

I would rate no stars if could. The idiot at the pharmacy: 1) Asked my friend how to spell CAREFIRST. 2) Asked my wheelchair bound friend«Is that permanent?» She stared at him, stunned for a moment then said, «You mean being in a wheelchair?» And he said, «Yeah». Keep in mind this is the most high end, bionic looking wheelchair you’ll come across – not the one you sit in to get wheeled out the front door of the hospital. REALLY, DUANEREADE? REALLY? You’re at the friggin pharmacy, and across the street from the Hospital for Special Surgeries!!!

Super small and contains most household basics. This is convenient to where I live, so if I need something fast or a prescription, this is my place. It may be worth walking the one block to the bigger DR for grocery/major household needs.

Duane Reade: Service with a scowl. Duane Reade: Our shelves are empty, but our heads are filled with cat food! Duane Reade: Because running into the drug store for a bottle of shampoo should take 20 minutes. Duane Reade, Duane Reade, we don’t care! Our attitude’s as vile as that smell in the air! Don’t whine about the stock or that crap on the floor! Just scan your effing card and get your ass out the door! Duuuuuuuaaane Reeeeeeaaade!
