They answer your daily needs, with a cool air conditioned shopping experience. That said they are in no way inexpensive. But they do tend to have all the things you might need. And they're everywhere.
I only go in here if absolutely necessary and I am too lazy to walk to CVS, a far superior chain. My experience with all Duane Reade stores is that they are understocked, low on selection, disorganized, messy, cramped, and offer slow, inadequate service. This particular location, and the corner of 14th St and 3rd Ave, brings mediocrity to new levels. Poorer service, longer lines, slower sales associates…a drug store shopping experience really doesn't get much worse. There is a less crowded DR a few blocks north on 3rd Ave btw 17th and 18th, and if you want to avoid DR altogether, there is a CVS near 20th and 3rd and one on Park Ave South at 18th.
Decent selection. My main complaint is that the lines can get long and they'll only have two cashiers working. Other than that, it's clean, good sized, and usually has what I'm looking for.
I came back from Paris with a few friends and one of them was sick as a dog. As we got to NYC he got better but after dinner at Ssam Bar with a few other friends on their way to Spain it was time to get some pre emptive meds. We come strolling here and he gets what he needs. Lots of people out so it was a bit crowded. We did our business and then moved on . Typical Duane Reade. We may complain about them but it's good that they're there when we need em.
