CVS Pharmacy

Only pharmacy open 24/​7, the closest other one would be on 8 avenue and 22 street across from BBQ Dallas

CVS is CVS but what makes this location stand apart from the rest is the people and timeliness of check out. There are 3 automatic checkout machines which makes for a quick check out. When there is a line, the cashiers will hop behind the register to make the line disappear quicker. The CVS employees were kind and upbeat, even thought it was after 9 and they probably wanted to go home.

Great place to hop off the High Line for a quick snack

Thank goodness for this CVS. I used to go to the Rite Aid on 22^nd and 9^th but it was not great. Nice workers but not clean. This CVS is really convenient and it has a big selection. I always stock up on dish soap when they go on sale. I don’t love shelling out money to big corporations but this CVS is necessary to my NY life.

Even though I still don’t get why we have so many pharmacies in the area I have to say that I love this new CVS Pharmacy that just opened here in Chelsea
I used to buy my stuff at the other store, but this one is closer (2 blocks) to my house so I started buying here
It s everything you would expect from a CVS, in a clean new store.

First walking in, everything is nicely lit and openly spaced. You’re faced with the food section — something that really resembles the mini-​mart I had back in my college dining hall — stocked with snacks, microwavable foods, and sugary beverages. Then, there is a refrigerated section with the frozen foods (individual pizzas, hot pockets, lean cuisines, ice cream, etc.) and cold drinks (milk, juices, Arnold Palmer…). The candy section flanks the fridges. For a minute, I thought I had stepped into a 7-​Eleven and not a CVS!
Wandering further in, taking my first tour, I find the usual aisles I’d see in any other pharmacy — beauty/​make-​up, hair care, hygiene maintenance, vitamins, first aid, etc. Everything is neatly organized on the shelves. Perhaps this is the case since it just opened… let’s see how long it stays this way. I noticed the round aisle markers hanging over particular sections of the shelves, which really helps when searching for something on the fly and not having to walk through the entire length.
The plus about this CVS is the photo section, with what I believe are self-​serve kiosks. I didn’t take a closer look but will definitely come back to develop those long-​forgotten vacation photos for my much-​delayed album project.
This CVS Pharmacy very recently popped up, which is quite odd, considering there is another CVS two avenues down, and there are about 5 other pharmacies in a 3-​block radius. But hey, I won’t complain since it is now the closest pharmacy to my home. I will surely start to shop here more, and I’m pretty sure it will build up a large customer base, seeing that it is right underneath the High Line and surrounded by new residential high-​rises.
