This Duane Reade is much like any of the other dozens of them around the city but they’re open 24 hours and that is definitely handy. They have a small food and produce section, which is a new addition and if you’re in a hurry it’s a great option because they do carry the staples. They’ve renovated several times over the years to make the location nicer and they have succeeded. Their pharmacists are knowledgeable and kind. But what I like best about this location is whether it’s the pharmacy or the staff working at the registers they are always nice to my mom when she comes in with me and they get major brownie points for that.

I come here quite often and have had many normal experiences. However, today, I went to get a snack on a work break and only brought $ 5 with me. Not even realizing it, I picked up something else that made my purchase $ 6. The cashier was pleasant and when I asked her to put the extra item back she quickly took her own dollar out and rung it in before I could stop her. She even gave me the leftover change! I will certainly pay this kindness forward to someone but I will be back to give her the $ 1 back! She was truly a breath of fresh air through a rough work day!

First time for everything! Had to have my Doctor in WA send my prescription off to a Duane Reade pharmacy so that I could pick it up while traveling in NY. Made a few calls to make it happen, and finally arrived to be told my prescription was at another DR pharmacy. They made it seem very inconvenient to do a transfer, despite how simple it was once they agreed. The associate at the pharmacy was not at all friendly, and seemed slightly incompetent. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think they were fresh out of high school with no credentials to be behind the counter. No restrooms either — this was a really big inconvenience for me. Makes you appreciate the Target or CVS pharmacies… who would have thought?!

This location is forever under renovation so I don’t know my way around it, which is very frustrating. That being said, the aesthetic upgrades are definitely an improvement from the previous run-down store that it was(aside from the poorly placed cash registers which don’t allow for a proper line to form). They also don’t carry Oil of Olay daily facials, which is a serious offense as far as I’m considered. However, I can’t complain(too) much when I compare this spot to the DR in my old hood, where the cashier used to bully me.

Service here was a bit slow — took a while to run up my card. Aside from that, a bit disorganized, food stuffs and other high-margin products in the very back of the store instead of near the exit, and some really annoying placement of various products in the store make this well-lit, but crowded area.

They will somehow manage to mess up your prescription order EVERYSINGLETIME. I don’t know how they do it. As if that weren’t bad enough, they will give you an attitude when you point out their mistake. Nine out of 10 times, your prescriptions won’t be ready when they are supposed to be. Other times, they won’t give you the # of pills you are supposed to get. Yet other times, they manage to give you someone else’s prescriptions… Long story short – I now go to CVS on 42nd…

What I love about places like Duane Reade are the derelicts… er, clientele. The cast of characters could be an instant sitcom, The Wanderer, Mr. Indecisive, Ms Hair Style is OH so wrong. I love this place. They have everything you need and the their prices are great… oh yeah, open ALL hours. Gotta love that.

You may know the name comes from the first DR location, downtown Manhattan, near Duane and Reade Streets. And even Jackie O sported its bags.

Why is it that they have 8 cashier booths but only one cashier? This does holds true for more than just this location… EVERY location! Disappointed in Duane.
