“The store is complete with a juice bar, hair saloon, nail bar-thingy (whatever women call it).”
“They have all kinds of beauty products and across from the nail bar is the hair salon!”
“It stretches from Wall St. to the other side of Pine St.
What more do you get from this DR is Sandwiches, Sushi, Smoothie, breakfast & coffee stations.”

I like it here. Its so much better than all the Duane reades in probably all of New York City.
Their selection first off is comparable to that of targets. Except this is better. They have a whole wall of drinks, not the tiny wall, like about a ten foot long wall of drinks. They have sushi bar and a smoothie bar. There are racks packed with chips and even California wine in racks. Fresh fruit and fresh flowers. Cleaning supplies, cards, a shoe shining station, apple chargers, a whole other section as the pharmacy- you got it.
But, being the girl that I am, none of that really concerns me. What concerns me is make up and boy is their selection huge. There is a part for the Rimmel London's and cover girls of the world. But of course, they take it to the next level and stock up with so much variety it's almost like target.
Now- they have a whole other section just for upscale skincare- not really like sephora type skincare but the la Roche-posay things you can find. Obviously this place is bigger than sephora and cheaper.
They have another section completely for makeup I can't even find at sephora like the Balm and Pop sugar! It's terrible trying to find these brands in the city but this place has it all- and sephora style too with samples in the front. Do I sound too obsessed yet? Because I love this place more than the sephora down the block.
The staff is quick here but their selection is what amazes me. For a convenience store- this place is so convenient!!
Ummm, wow! Is this seriously a Duane Reade?!? I guess I need to start visiting DR's in the city more because this was kinda awesome.
I was in the neighborhood to attend a seminar, and walked into what looked like a cafe at first. Tons of (what looked to be) fresh food, drinks, coffee… Basically a cafe.
There was also an area in the pharmacy to visit with a doctor. Pretty awesome if you're left high and dry by your own doc. As you make your way into the back of the store, you find an extensive cosmetics department with whatever you can think of including a nail technician!
There was a second floor below, but I didn't venture down there. Either way this was one impressive Duane Reade.
Before reading this review, please note that this particular Duane Reade is located within a Trump building. This may make my review make more sense.
Things this Duane Reade has:
-A juice bar with fresh fruits and vegetables
-A full-service salon where I witnessed a client getting a blowout
-A nail salon with a punch card system (your 6th manicure is free)
-A sparkling and brightly-lit pharmacy with a real waiting area equipped with TVs
-A consultation room within said pharmacy, which sliding doors for privacy
-Tons of staff walking around and helping you find what you're looking for
-Typical pharmacy/DR items such as first aid, shampoo, body wash, lotions, etc.
-A Sephora type makeup room full of department store makeup brands
-Multiple cash registers in different parts of the store
-Tons of FRESH food options to choose from if you want a quick lunch
-A coffee station along with freshly-made doughnuts
Things this Duane Reade has that your typical Duane Reade does not have:
-All of the above
**I only chopped off a star because the first sales associate asked what we were looking for, we said Burt's Bees, and she had no idea what that was.
This is one of the worst Duane Reade I've ever been to, next time I'll just go over to the other locations a few blocks away. Rude and ghetto staff here who have a nasty attitude and don't want to be working there. Their registers don't always work, and the price advertised is not what you pay at the register. What a hot mess of a store, don't waste your time, save your sanity and your cool and head to the one on Broadway. It'll save you a lot of patience.
Don't come here hungry. The store is a danger zone if you are hungry. Sandwiches, sushi, smoothies and snacks galore. The store is ultra clean and the layout is spacious. Everyone is very nice here. Love this Duane Reade.
This Duane read is the best in the city! From the salad bar to coffee spot to the beauty section. OMG it's awesomeeeeee! I worked next door at 120 Broadway and I swear so day it felt like I lived in this drug store. They literally have everything you could need.
Wow! Huge, beautiful, and clean Duane Reade. Puts all of the others to shame. Shopping here was relaxing and delightful. The cosmetics section is extensive and amazing.
Best one I have been to. Check out can be slow at times, however those times are rare. This is definitely a flagship store which means it carries everything you can think of.
