Move over Starbucks! Move over Sleepy's! The newest addition to Greenpoint's Manhattan Avenue is...Duane Reade! The drug store joins two Rite-Aids, but at least Duane Reade can say that it's one of a kind in the neighborhood -- and the only drug store on that block of the street. What did the chain replace? A local pharmacy! At least they have signs in three languages.
The new Duane Reade opens on a section of Manhattan Ave that has eight banks (with one to come) in a five block stretch. Soon the neighborhood will look just like the Upper West Side, only with a greater Polish population.

Coming soon: CVS, Walgreens and two more Duane Reades!
i love greenpoint, but the fondness for chain stores on manhattan avenue is confounding.
The only similarity between the UWS and Greenpoint beyond the pharmacies is that one demographic fled Poland at lit torches of the other.
Pshaw! Even Staten Island has a Duane Reade.
If anyone cares, The Soup Man on Manhattan is now closed.
walgreens and Eckard >>>> Duane Reade. I hope they enjoy the most polluted place in America. Google Newton Creek Oil spill
Big. Whup.
Big fucking deal. I lived in that shitty neighborhood in the 80s and would have loved ANY kind of store like a Duane Reade. Back then all that was there was a few bodegas, two mediocre diners, tons of drunk Polacks and the stench of garbage.
In our household, Duane Reade has always been a magical Christmas tale.
Duane Reade sucks. I went in this weekend to buy something that only 2 months ago generally ran about $11.00 AND i know about increased price because of gas, etc, but does that honestly warrant a jump in $$ from $11 to $19 ????
Guess what Duane Reade, Amazon has everything & more and it's ALL at a fare price, i HOPE you go outta business in this economy, you greedy, money sucking corporate chazer!
