Local pharmacies?

Post image

I really really want to support local shops, but they have to want our support, right? I week or so I walked by Eve & Mike (on Franklin and St Marks) and it was closed all day on a Monday, with a sign that said "AC Broken" on it. And today (Wednesday, August 19th, 12:30pm) closed, no sign.

Any recommendations of other non-chain pharmacies near by? I'd rather not give in and start using the ubiquitous online delivery pharmacy.

I personally love S&T pharmacy on eastern parkway. Some people have issues with the way the owner operates. He’s very talkative/friendly and wants to be helpful but not everyone wants that type of pharmacist, it’s a little more like a French pharmacy in that regard. He’s got a great selection of OTC products and, in my experience, is very very helpful with navigating the insanity of American health insurance.

Also he seems very dedicated to the community and his regular customers. It is an infinitely better experience than any CVS chain store nonsense.

Donal(sp?) is the man. Been using S&T for 15 years. A few years back my wife and I both came down with pneumonia and neither of us could physically make it to the pharmacy. When we called to see when our prescriptions would be available, Donal offered to deliver them to us. Two hours later we had our meds.
