CVS Photo

Passport photos turn up quickly at the 235th Street CVS Photo counter. The bodega-style store sits on a busy corner in Kingsbridge, a 9-to-5 neighborhood that still bustles when commuters idle before the last train. Walk-ups can squeeze in a set between errands, while commuters swing by on their way home. A single cashier keeps traffic moving, and the prints are usually ready before the next customer finishes shopping. If you need a few extra copies for a backup application, the prints come cheap and fast. Give CVS Photo a ring at (718) 543-2007 if you want to double-check the queue first. From the 1 train exit at 235th Street, it’s a two-minute uphill stroll past the dollar store and the dollar pizza slice joint. You can plan the quick loop on your map before you leave the station, then pop in and out without the detour feeling like a chore.
