Kellner Curtis J

Another Upper East Side block, another pharmacy quietly handling the daily grind. Kellner Curtis J sits at 525 East 68th Street, between Park and Lexington, pushing prescriptions and basic supplies across the counter. They cover the essentials: small business needs, chronic medication refills, and the usual cough remedies you’d grab on your way to the subway.

The front windows look onto a stretch of town that’s all brownstone stoops and doorman buildings. If you live or work in this stretch of Yorkville, Kellner Curtis J isn’t hard to find; they’ve occupied the corner storefront for decades without fanfare. Their phone number, (212) 746-0736, is the fastest way to confirm whether they carry the exact size or strength you need before making the short walk east.

Grab the map and plot the route directly to their door, then loop back to Fifth Avenue once you’re done. Getting in and out here never takes more than a few minutes, and you’ll leave with either what you came for or a short list of nearby spots that can fill the gap.
