Walgreens

Three cheers to all the employees who were working the days leading up to New Year’s Eve and the next couple of days. The store is open 24 hours and entering had the patrons acting like the hunger games fighting over snacks and drinks. The store is located under the ball. I went twice while there 3 days and got in and out in a very hectic crowded store. Great!

This is the mother of all Walgreens and it is located in Times Square New York. When traveling to New York, or staying in New York, it is inevitable that you will forget some sort of creature comfort, amenity, or sundry that you desperately need during your stay. Walgreens comes to the rescue.
This particular Walgreens is three stories high, and sells more than your average Walgreens, including souvenirs a decent selection of wine, snacks, and all sorts of random items which you may find useful.
If you are an impeccable planner and packer, and never forget anything, or don’t run out of anything during your trip to New York, this Walgreens is probably someplace you would have no reason to visit. If you are like me, and want a snack that may not be on your hotel’s menu, a beverage to bring back to your hotel room, or a pack of Advil or any other sundry, just know that Walgreens is there for you in a heart of Times Square.
Prices are reasonable, staff is decent, and the store is relatively clean and safe. I don’t really look for much more when I go into a store like Walgreens.

Usually very crowded, but perfect location to find a snack, quick soda or pretty much anything ones needs. 3 floors store it is, so you can get some workout done on the escalators as well — Prices are reflectiing the location and the name of the store. Worth checking out at least!

The photo department has the worst customer service. I called to ask for a price on developing film and they took 15 minutes until they finally «lost connection». I called again and asked for a price and they put me on hold again! I never got my answer to my question so I decided to look it up myself. You figure these employees would at least know the price to a simplest of questions.

I love Walgreens. Clean, decent prices and friendly staff. I guess that in NYC, and specifically Times Square those qualities do not apply or matter.
Products are double those that I am used to. $ 11.99 for a two pack of toothbrushes. $ 8.49 for a toothpaste that I thought was price protected at $ 4.99. No here.
The staff was not interested in helping, the store was filthy and over crowded.
This is NYC and you shouldn’t expect anything different.

I’ve stopped by here a few times on the way to work.
It’s in the Times Square Building. Because it is a small building, the store takes up 3 small floors. Depending on what you want, you will probably have to go up and down the escalators searching for items.
The people who work there are friendly and helpful. If I could, I’d add half a star.

This Walgreens is located on the pedestrian only section of Broadway in Times Square between 42^nd and 43^rd. On the main floor by the entrance has a large cold food island right in the middle of the narrow store. I was looking for a particular body lotion (Carmex) my friend had asked for and I figured Walgreens would have it.
I had to go up to the 2^nd floor where my wife found it. This store seems really tight in a sense that it doesn’t feel like you have much room to move around. The store itself seems rather narrow but considering where the store is located it’s understandable that it’s not going to necessarily be wide open spaces.
The lotion I bought here was 2 dollars more than the same thing I found on Long Island but it’s not too surprising considering I was paying «tourist» pricing buying stuff in midtown Manhattan vs the burbs.

This is a 3 story walgreens packed with many things. Dont come here on a Sat night. Way crowded but at least the line moves fast.

The escalator is single file and is broken, which is incredibly inconvenient. Otherwise, a standard Walgreen’s by any and all measurements

Elizabeth (LIZ) at Walgreens Time Square location is the best pharmacist I have ever had the pleasure of working with! Liz is very professional, knowledgeable and always goes above and beyond to provide a top level of service to every single customer that comes in. Her work, dedication and personable approach are a true asset to the Walgreens Corporation. THANKS YOU LIZ for everything,
Best, Jeannetta

This is like the mecca for Walgreens– 3 floors of pharmacy/​convenience store goodness. They even have an escalator.
We had stopped by to pick up a few items since we were visiting. For the most part, it was a good experience. But if you’re on limited time, be prepared to wait. I had to go to the 2^nd floor which is where the pharmacy, toiletries, etc are located and found what I needed. I did see employees working on the salesfloor but they were more concerned with stocking shelves. I would imagine they would help if you asked for it.
I ended up going back down to the first floor to pay. The line was rather long and backed up and I could see the annoyance from other customers who only had 1 item to pay for. I marveled at the fact that they essentially have a little supermarket on the 1^st floor. Even premade sushi! The line did move pretty quickly so I really have no complaints. And my cashier was quick AND friendly. Not something you see all the time.
So, if you’re in a pickle, and need to fill a prescription or pick up some toiletries while in town (and find yourself in the area), stop here!

Who knew you could fill a Walgreens into 3 floors of store? Also, who knew that Walgreens was a souvenir shop? The first floor is basically a small supermarket with a ton of packaged foods, snacks and even a refrigerated section. The 2^nd floor has the pharmacy and all the beauty products you could imagine. The top floor is your typical NY souvenir shop.

Terrible shopping experience.
Placed order online for in-​store pickup. Order confirmation said to pick up order at photo desk.
1) Got to store and walked up 3 flights to photo desk. Nobody there. Waited.
2) Asked stock clerk where to pick up order, they said first floor
3) I went back down to first floor. Waited a while in line for cashier… then saw «web pickup» sign… although only security officer behind the desk.
4) Security officer didn’t know about web pickups (he was very nice), he called for manager… no one came. After 10 minutes he went looking for the manager (they were behind register… 15 feet away… just couldn’t be bothered I guess).
5) I was told to go back to photo desk on 3^rd floor again. I asked if someone would be there… they said yes.
6) Went back up to third floor. No one there. I waited. After 5 minutes someone came up from FIRST FLOOR IN ELEVATOR with my package (where it had been all along).
Service was horrible. Staff was horrible (except security guy). Management was incompetent.
I was planning to transfer my prescriptions to Walgreens from CVS… but that will never happen now. I hope the store is making money from tourists… because you won’t get repeat patronage.

this review is about the Pharmacy Dept only
Its probably not a good thing when your pharmacist knows you by your first name but in the case of Walgreens Times Square, its a good thing. Despite having 4 Duane Reades and a Rite Aid that are far closer to me, I go out of my way and into the Times Square jungle specifically so I can get any medication filled here
The staff is the MAIN reason why I come here. Elizabeth is probably the worlds nicest pharmacist and has gone out of her way to show me ways to save money with both my insurance and the Walgreens card. Even more surprising, is that she has personally called me if she ever sees me taking a new medication (even if she didnt fill it) to ask if it is helping, if I am having any side effects and if I have any questions. The rest of the staff is friendly and helpful as well
Also, not sure how this is possible, but for the same medications and after putting it thru my insurance, somehow Walgreens is ALWAYS cheaper. I have found that Duane Reade consistently over-​charges (not sure how that is legal) and Rite-​Aid is competitive but not quite as good
I will probably never have the need to review another pharmacy for the rest of my life, but great customer service should always be mentioned, so its my pleasure to write this

Super Laden direkt am Times Square, definitiv nicht zu übersehen dank riesiger Reklametafel. Hier hab ich mich in der Süßwarenabteilung ausgetobt und leckere Wassermelonen-​Gummis, diverse Sorten Kaugummis (unfassbar was es da alles für Sorten gibt von denen wir noch nie was gehört haben) Spidermann-​Gummis und delikaten Schweppes-​Getränken ausgetobt. Gerade wenn einen mal der kleine Durst plagt kann man hier recht günstig einkaufen.

Average Walgreens. Multiple floors with diff departments on each floor. Kinda hard to navigate finding things. Cashiers only on the bottom floor. Doesn’t have a whole lot.

The Walgreens in the skyyyyyyy
As far as tourist Walgreens go, this one is meh. They have it so that it’s on different floors because the building is soooo narrow. It works out and it’s not too too confusing to maneuver. The first floor has the food, because that’s what the majority of folks want anyway. The further up you go, the less tourists you’ll see.
Like every Walgreens there is a pharmacy, which is why I used to frequent this spot so much. The staff is always friendly and I usually find what I need. It might take a little more time because you have to go from one floor to another, but hey, they have escalators.

Aside from the clueless employees, register reward machines never working, long lines, and employees making up their own coupon policies, this Walgreens is alright… who am I kidding, this place is a mess.
There is no point in their sales ads when the sales are never labeled for the corresponding items. Also the register rewards printers never work or run out of paper in every floor. It’s kind of important when the sale prices are after register rewards are factored in. In one instance when half a register reward printed out, the cashier would not honor reprinting it which is the same as stealing my money.
This place is only good for the tourists that are too in a rush to think about how much they are overpaying for the items here.

This Walgreens is right in the middle of Times Square.
There’s three stories — the first level is like a convenience store with processed food, junk food, cut fruit, beverages, and quick-​to-​go snacks. The second and third levels have hygiene and household goods (toilet paper, toothpaste, hair products, soap, souvenirs etc.)
The items here are WAY overpriced. Even Duane Reade costs less.

Recent May 2012 visit was to attain substance sandwiched between attending two poetry open-​mics on a Saturday afternoon. One small Grilled Chicken Caesar wrap at $ 4.49 was not grilled in any format but accomplished the job to sustain my hunger pangs within. The prepared food department is in the center of the foyer entrance by the cashier ergo, hardly unable to miss. The cashier line is organized and moves moderately in a civilized orderly fashion.
This Walgreens sits in Time Square, inside the famous iconic Flatiron Building where the famous New Year’s Eve time ball drops and is a gargantuan retail store adapting to 2012 era with clothing, prepared foods as well as a traditional drug store.

Another Taj Mahal of Walgreens! Three stories of fresh food, beer and wine, pharmacy, travel size products, and more; just steps from Times Square. For tourists, head to the third floor for cheap souvenirs, or to pose in front of a green screen for a NYC photo keepsake. (Goofy, but for some a cheap way to remember their visit).
I found this place to be great for a grab ‘n’ go sandwich and Vitamin Water, that I could eat right outside their door. There are tables and chairs set up outside, for a quick and cheap bite in Times Square! Super nice for travel on the cheap. A Walgreens is a Walgreens is a Walgreens? I think not.

I Love Walgreens. Allerdings den im Empire. Und wer M und Ms haben mag bekommt dort eine gute Auswahl

Walgreens liegt direkt auf dem Times Square, man kann gar nicht vorbeilaufen.
In diesem Supermarkt findet man einfach alles. Wenn man in der Nähe des Times Square wohnt und Snacks oder Kleinigkeiten für den Abend einkaufen will, dann ist man hier genau richtig.
Gerade bei Getränken ist es hier oft deutlich günstiger als in den umliegenden Delis.
Reinschauen lohnt sich auf jeden Fall
