This Duane Reade is a like a secret pocket or nook in the city underneath the city. While it has traditional midtown prices (e.g. really expensive things), it definitely has enough variety that will keep me coming back.
I went to the Duane Reade because I was in dire need of a good shampoo and conditioner. After scouring internet chat rooms for 30 minutes, I decided upon a good protein based conditioner and made my way to Duane Reade to see if they had it. Having kinky hair, I wasn't expecting Duane Reade to carry the shampoo and conditioner, particularly because there are not a lot of stores which accommodate African-American textured hair. I was glad to see that I was wrong. Duane Reade had Shea Moisture, Patene Pro-V, Organic Root Stimulator, and many other shampoos and conditioners. I was able to quickly find the shampoo and conditioner that I wanted.
This Duane Reade is on located on underground near the BDFM train and the Rockefeller concourse.
For the most part, I've found everything I needed at this location but have experienced a few times where products where out of stock or not carried completely.
I've also experienced so-so cashiers and slow lines at cashiers almost every time I've been here..
They recently expanded and took up the space where Burger King use to be. It's a great upgrade and the store is bigger and brighter. Idk if I will be exploring the new sushi station, but I will definitely check out the frozen yogurt. I love that I can get to this location without having to go outside. They are the only place I have tracked down so far that still develops film and more specifically disposable cameras.
DR is pretty straight up and self explanatory, but this location is pretty large for an underground spot. It's right before the 50th St exit and has a large selection of prepared foods, particularly those quick lunch options… Sandwiches, sliced and whole fruits, salads, cold cuts – all seemed fresh. They do have a sushi counter, which looks interesting, but I'm not that adventurous. I am regretting not getting those two huge packs of bacon on sale for $8 though. Oh well. Also! There are two checkout locations (front and back of the store).
Love the convenience of having a drug store right as you exit the subway at Rockefeller Center and head through the underground concourse. I knew I had to find a Duane Reade at some point in the day for bath & body necessities. Bumping in to this one, right off the train was super convenient. It was a clean a bright location and had a well stocked section of travel size items. Prices were fair for the convenience. If you're so inclined, they also had a wide variety of snacks, self serve fro-yo (crazy right???) and cold beverages. Great location and has the basics you'd need for your healthy & beauty needs.

I was happy I took the risk.
