Some Park Slopers are probably unaware that Pure Essentials, the new health and beauty shop where Second Street Cafe used to be has a Kids RX in the back ( I think there's a separate entrance on 2nd Street). Here's a nice shout-out from a member of Park Slope Parents:
On their website, KidsRX describes itself as "a real community pharmacy that places special emphasis on the healthcare needs of children." They accept all insurance plans, and offer fast, free, same day delivery in Manhattan (they have a branch in Tribeca) .Do they deliver in Brooklyn, too? Not sure.
living in Mayberry. You know, without Barney Fife or a swimming hole.
I can only urge people to give Kids Rx on 7th Avenue & 2nd Street a
try. Get this–I actually got a call from the pharmacist telling me
that he had been reviewing his records and sees that I am due for
refills on 2 drugs I take regularly and would I like him to fill them
and deliver them. Seriously. Who does that anymore? Everyone there
is lovely and my kid finds their train table beyond thrilling. But the
pharmacist has gone above and beyond for us several times and is just
the nicest guy.
Take that Duane Reade and CVS!
I try to keep artificial sweeteners out of my kid mouths. All of the corporate stores had a blank spot where Tom’s for kids should go. The hourly employees at those stores only offered me blank stares when I asked about it. I thought the product was discontinued. When I walked into Kids RX and asked they just handed me a tube. They are now my “go to first” place!
