Like a higher end Walgreens, this place is great. Slightly more luxe selection of grooming essentials, and everything you need that you forgot to bring.
This place has undergone one of the rolling city-wide Duane Reade upgrades. Thank goodness. I had been to it a few times pre-renovation, and…well, it was a relic. There are now bright, shiny aisles and bright, shiny…well, everything! It's got everything else a typical Duane Reade has. Need I elaborate further?
However, service can be hit or miss, though good more than bad. One time, I purchased items, was rung up, then as my receipt was handed to me, the cashier yawned and stared blankly ahead for a few seconds. Then, he causally walked from behind the counter and stated, "I need the bathroom," to no one in particular. In the meantime, the five items I purchased sat by the register, un-bagged. The other cashier looked both horrified and embarrassed. He quickly and very sincerely apologized as he bagged my items up. "I'm sorry," he said. "A manager should know better than to do that."
