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!

In our household, Duane Reade has always been a magical Christmas tale.

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.

walgreens and Eckard >>>> Duane Reade. I hope they enjoy the most polluted place in America. Google Newton Creek Oil spill

If anyone cares, The Soup Man on Manhattan is now closed.

The only similarity between the UWS and Greenpoint beyond the pharmacies is that one demographic fled Poland at lit torches of the other.

i love greenpoint, but the fondness for chain stores on manhattan avenue is confounding.
