In case you lost count, there are seven Duane Reades within a ten block span on the UWS, from 69th to 79th Streets on Broadway, Columbus, and Amsterdam Avenues. This includes the new one on 75th and Broadway that's just about to open. My Upper West asks: "But seriously?what the fuck? Can't we get something cool, like a pool hall?" Lest they forget that one of them sells beer pong balls next to its condoms. [My Upper West, Previously]
