I peeked through a rip in the plain brown paper on the windows of the space at 189 Seventh Avenue (at 2nd Street) that used to be Second Street Cafe and saw that the newcomers, Kids Rx are nearly finished with their transformation of that space from a restaurant into a drug store.

It’s beginning to look like a drug store albeit an unusual drugstore that specializes in traditional and natural healthcare for kids. Here’s their blurb from their website which is now touting their new Park Slope store:

KidsRx is a real community pharmacy that places special emphasis on the healthcare needs of children.

What makes us different from an ordinary "drugstore"?

KidsRx makes a shift from a product-based service to an information-base service.

KidsRx creates a fun and welcoming atmosphere for child and parent alike. Kids are welcome to play in our waiting area with Thomas The Tank & Friends or sit and watch our overhead train go!

KidsRx specializes in pediatric compounding which allows us to customize a formulation to best suit a patient’s needs. Flavoring, lollipops, transdermal gels (to treat nasuea/vomiting or fever), make hard to find items, custom doses, and create discontinued products.

KidsRx offers comprehensive counseling and follow-up with child and caregiver, always keeping in mind that medicines used improperly can cause a lifetime of consequences in a child.
