One of my favorite things about the way New York is changing is that Duane Reade is everywhere! I can’t walk down the block now without convenient, 24-hour access to the coolest, best pharmacy in America. Hello, how great is New York! The Duane Reade that just moved in near me — my bad — the two Duane Reades that moved within three blocks of me, are amazing. There’s the one on Christopher Street and Seventh Avenue, which is perfect. It’s a totally organic fit on that corner that just screams — hello, the old Village is back! Then there’s the one on the corner of Hudson Street and Charles. There used to be a gross old red brick building there. It was a gathering place of some sort for gross yellow taxi cabs, it was even on that show “Taxi” as the headquarters or something. Anyway, that building had been there for like a hundred years — enough already! Thankfully, they tore it down and put up this totally cool DR. Smoking! I can get my pictures processed (Cabo!!!) (Don’t Snitch!) and buy bacitracin and smoothies and get my toe corn things and everything. Love you, DR. When is a third one opening? The West Village is looking really old and shabby these days– nothing Duane Reade can’t snap into place.
If you haven’t checked out the new New York City, you’ve gotta come visit. Not only is Duane Reade everywhere, but like CVS (http://www.cvs.com) is here too and Rite Aid (http://www.riteaid.com). Tooo cool! Kisses. Out.
