Flash-Flash-Flash- Duane Reade is Now Open

The long awaited Roosevelt Island Duane Reade store at 425 Main Street is now open.
As a service to retail deprived, overly excited Roosevelt Islanders, they will have free blood pressure testing on Saturday between 11AM-2PM
A positive first impression was made for me by their stocking of Jewish New Year cards, unlike the Gristedes which does not, demonstrating that at least in this instance they are aware that in the city of New York there are people who wish to send Rosh Hashanah greetings to others.
