Consistently awful.
That is the best way to describe this Walgreens. Customer service here is non-existent, service is slow, employees act and treat you like they don't care and hate working there.
The only reason to shop here is the fact they have decent sales and cheaper products than the Duane Reade on the opposite corner. However, it always takes way too long to check out even when I am the only one there. It is ridiculous. For the little bit of money I save it is not worth the long waits and poor treatement by the employees.
Two level Walgreens. Cosmetics are positioned in the front of the store as soon as you walk in. Helpful and polite customer service at front desk. Pharmacy and general pharmacy products are on second level. Redox and ATM (which does charge a fee) are located next to main entry way.
As with many stores in NYC, particularly the drug stores, I've been finding lots of revamps: cleaner aisles, better lighting, more sensible arrangement of products. This Walgreens is a prime example. In the advent of multiple Duane Reades and Walgreens being "gussied up" over the past few years (…albeit in a slower rollout in some areas…), this Walgreens is pretty tops. The top floor boasts a well – stock food and beverage section, coupled with a multitude of make-up and beauty products. The downstairs, accessible by stairs, escalators, or elevator (OH MY!), has just about everything else you could dream of: an efficient pharmacy, hair dye, Justin Bieber birthday cards, roach repellent spray, vibrating "intimacy enhancement products", and more Bounty paper towels than you can shake a stick at!
As with many stores in NYC, particularly the drug stores, I've been finding lots of the same things…okay, namely one thing: Dismissive staff that really do not give a flying front door about you. Scan the item. Put it in the bag. Scan the item. Put it in the bag. Scan the item. Put it in the bag….and then you scan the item, and then you put it in the bag.* Little to no eye contact is ever made. Their voices are bored and monotone, but they become more lively and animated speaking with each other…when, in fact, they should be paying some of that attention to the customers at their registers.
Store employees such as this are just a way of life, I suppose. As long as I can pick up a bottle of Essie nail polish, some dishwashing soap, a bottle of iron supplements, and an obscenely huge bag of M & Ms in a clean and appealing-looking place, I'll manage.

* – Oh. PLEASE. Someone. Get the random 90s cartoon reference I just made…
Open late…just what I needed when I realized I didn't pack a toothbrush on my recent trip to NYC. Panic almost set in, but luckily Yelp directed me to the nearest store.
I was quite impressed with the size of this Walgreens! Plus, they have a large refrigerated section filled with basic food staples and other items for a quick lunch or late night snack.
It seems this location is the hot spot to go right before closing time. There was a line 8 people deep…and only one cashier. If you need something, this is a great stop…but if you are in a hurry, you'll be out of luck.
