Duane Reade
“Not my favorite DR, but definitely clutch because it's open 24 hours and if you need a Chase ATM while shopping on Broadway in Soho, this is the place to go.”
“I must admit that I never use the pharmacy, so there could be some discrepancies with my account in regards to what happens downstairs.”

Didn't know Walgreens bought out Duane Reade.. anyway, like Walgreens in San Francisco, there's one every few blocks.
pharmacist and pharm techs here are quick.
Clean, good selection, pleasant staff. Large location with a lot of choices.
Went here for diapers on the run… They had a lot of choices for brands and sizes and the store was laid out well… Easy to navigate.
I came here expecting to be blown away by a futuristic drugstore and I felt like the Walgreen from D.C. had more to offer (fresh juice bar and self-serve froyo, nail bar, Dr. Scholls custom foot support machines). This Duane Reade looked so promising but on the inside, the selection was average. I walked around the shop three times looking for band aids before realizing that they had bottom floor dedicated to pharmaceuticals. I wanted to pick up the Klorane oatmeal dry shampoo but it was way more than what you could get on Amazon. As for local brands, I didn't really find anything special.
Duane Reade is more prevalent than Starbucks it seems. This brand new location is gleaming with the aisles perfectly faced. This may change in the next few months, years but in the meantime it is a pleasure to pop in for some shampoo, batteries, magazines etc.
Thank NYC for Duane Reades. If it were not for your grace and fully stocked shelves of cold medication, kleenex and afirin, I may not have made it through my VACATION in New York with the worst cold I've ever experienced up to date. Your store was CRUCIAL in my ability to survive the week although my recovery was slow and painfully not there.
Store associates are friendly, although at night you find a few people outside looking like they're about ready to dive in to your bag and gun point you at whatever it is you have, despite it being in SoHo … and they have cheap spring water, fantastic!
**One of my favorite Duane Reades in Manhattan!**
Why? It's conveniently located in the heart of SoHo. This store is new and beautifully furnished, clean, spic-and-span, well-lit, and looks more like a grocery store/department store than an actual pharmacy. This pharmacy is two levels, with the pharmacy downstairs. The pharmacy staff here is also very friendly. I spoke with the pharmacist personally and she was really helpful, nice and pleasant.
I was very impressed with their blood pressure monitor in the pharmacy area because it gives you a print out of your blood pressure reading. How high tech! That way people don't have to scramble finding a pen–they can just have their record printed out at the click of a button on the machine. It was really nifty 🙂
I'm glad the Duane Reade is here because it's a great place to pick up a bottle of water for prices much cheaper than at the hot dog stands outside and the near by D&D. I like saving money, and this place allows me to do that. Now, coupled with great pharmacy staff… this Duane Reade is definitely win-win!
Consistency is key.
It's a Duane Reade simply, but they keep their shelves stocked and they pretty much never change. Boring, maybe? Effective and efficient for loyal customers. yes! I pop in and grab my usuals and pop right out. What more do you truly desire from your local general goods and pharmacy store. I must admit that I never use the pharmacy, so there could be some discrepancies with my account in regards to what happens downstairs.
The lines tend to only be annoying at peak times and around holidays per usual but they do a pretty good job at staffing and the employees are all pretty consistent. Some are more a lot more friendly than others but that's common and this is NYC.
