I personally can't stand the chain store pharmacies. In the neighborhood we have a bunch of independent druggists where you get personal attention. One of my favorites is Eislers where the fixtures are old and it has the old time feel of my childhood pharmacy. The pharmacist takes a genuine interest in making sure he gets everything right and they also have a good selection of razors, shampoo etc. Definitely a neighborhood resource.

When you walk into Eisler Chemists (1142 Lexington Ave. at 79th), you’re catapulted back to circa 1898 when a visit to the pharmacist cured your ills, or at least drained your sinuses via a blown-glass nasal douche
