I've been coming to this particular Walgreens for at least 15 years now, and it really has been a necessity for me and for my family. They're open until 12AM, which is great if it's late and you realize you need toiletries or other items. They Do offer parking in the rear, but you have to walk around to the front as they have sealed off their rear entrance. Granted, I live two blocks away, so it makes no difference to me, but it might to you. Metered street parking is generous though.
Ever since Walgreens bought out Duane Reade, the organization and design of this location has improved substantially. The selection is much greater, the prices are fair, and it is well managed. The only downside is that their cash wrap is usually understaffed, so you'll find a line of customers about 9-10 deep for their one (sometimes two) cashiers.
I love this Walgreens! Besides the fact it is a pharmacy I come here for these following reasons too.
Reason #1: They sell Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream! The only place that sells this brand of ice cream in the area.
#2: Ever since Walgreens and Duane Reade became one this walgreens sells premade foods. I sometimes come home late and wanting a wrap or salad so I come here to purchase whatever they have left. Though it is pretty pricey but it's the price you pay for convience and laziness lol
#3: If the supermarket across the street don't have frozen pizza sell I usually buy the walgreens brand frozen pizza. I know there are a few pizzarias in the area but sometimes its all about the convience.
#4: Their makeup selections are great and their beauty and self care aisle is huge. This is the only pharmacy in the area that sells beauty, bathroom, hoilday theme items, and much more.
#5: They carry Popcorn Indianna popcorn and Skinny popcorn brand, which are my favorite healthy popcorns that I turn to for snacks. Not a lot of supermarkets sells these brands. So far Walgreens and Waldbaums carries these brands. Oh and Boom Chicka Pop popcorn is not sold at walgreens but it is also good, healthy, and delicious.
Warning though their cashier lines are massive and slow. Sometimes they only have one or two cashier that's open. Be prepare to wait, but if your lucky they may open up the line at the makeup section and/or the photo section too.
REALLY SLOW AND…

This Walgreens has been around for as long as I can remember. I only come here whenever items I'm looking for in others stores are out of stock. Walgreens almost always have everything because they markup prices slightly higher than its competitors.
As other yelpers have mentioned, lines are always ridiculously long. Meanwhile there are almost always only ONE(sometimes TWO) cash registers open. I saw a lady at another register by the makeup section and asked if she was open. She replied with a flat out "NO" and what seemed to be a look of disgust(???). Maybe it was just the weather, idk. I walk back to where the long line is(o noes!) and 1 minute later the same lady at the previous register announces that she's OPEN! WHA DUH FFF–?? You couldn't ring me up the moment I walked up to you? OR, at the very least, tell me to wait as you were doing–WHATEVER it was that you were doing???
The takeaway I, and ALL other customers, should be getting from shopping here is getting da heck outta here as fast as the time it takes for me to find an item here. I'm literally dying inside whenever it takes me less than 1 minute to find what I want, and 3-10 minutes to check out! Either cashiers are almost always taking their sweet time or Walgreens really needs to program its machines to process item prices and payments faster!!!
