Walgreens

Mid-block drug store anchoring neighborhood corners. Prescriptions, convenience snacks, and everyday essentials under one roof. Photo printing and seasonal cards sit near the entrance, while basic first-aid and travel-size items line the aisles up front. Flu shots are offered seasonally without an appointment for those who want to move quickly.

Find it at 2683 Broadway in New York’s Upper West Side, a couple blocks north of 96th Street. The old-style storefront still reads Walgreens in gold lettering above the door, unchanged by decades of shifting retail.

Need something after 9 p.m.? Same-day delivery and mobile ordering keep a few basics on hand after the doors close. Call (212) 865-5360; a quick patch-through to the pharmacy counter gets refills rolling.

Grab a gallon of milk or a pack of AA batteries and you’re out the door before anyone notices.
