Duane Reade

I scheduled my dad to get his COVID-19 vaccine at this location. The staff was amazing. As a retail pharmacist myself, I know how super crazy it can get and especially now in these times. Kudos to the pharmacy team. We didn’t even have to wait. Even if we did have to, there is no rush in these times. We need to understand how tough it is. The two gentlemen on that day 2/27/20, sorry did not get their names were super friendly helping other customers. The girl technician( sorry also didn’t get her name) assisting me with my dad’s vaccine at the register was polite and professional. The pharmacist Yun as per my dad was super gentle with the shot! Overall a great experience! Thank you pharmacy team in these hard times. You are our heroes! Stay safe and keep up the great work!

Kiara was such a sweet and had so much patience with me. Her makeup was on pointttttttt

Just left the store with a large smile on my face! Staff at counter were super super friendly as of
2:52 16 September. Just visiting on holiday and my experience here was exceptional! Would recommend!

Best staff ever, especially the pharmacy. Patient, efficient team. They are wonderful and kind people who are so helpful, especially Omatayo.

I generally hate shopping at drug stores but we went here to see if they had classroom sets of valentines and, even though they didn’t, the young man who helped us was so kind and wonderful that I plan to return.

Great location with everything stocked! Safil is a manager there and he is really friendly and super nice! Good store to go to :)

Very helpful stuff, at register and pharmacy, easy to read shelf layout

Plenty of these places all over the city! Nice people and great stuff to choose from.

I was thankful with the staff for the help with the vaccine 🙏🏽

Small one and friendly staff members

Luv this store

I have to admit, I don't go in here much, as most of my basic toiletry needs can be satisfied at nearby grocery/convenience stores. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they renovated this location, bringing it in line with the other "nicer" Duane Reades around Manhattan (new paint, better lighting and signage, more "to-go" items and better beers!) Staff have always been friendly, even breaking bills when all I go in for is to use the ATM. I can't speak to the pharmacists as I don't take prescription meds or utilize their other services.

Overall, I'd recommend this drugstore for those in the neighborhood. Perhaps the Gristedes on 40th & 2nd could take some renovation notes from the Duane Reade playbook!

Decent selection and not very crowded, but typically super slow.
