Why locals search "pharmacy near me" and choose us
The Upper West Side has plenty of chain drug stores. What makes 79th Street Pharmacy different is that a pharmacist actually knows your name, remembers your allergies, and picks up the phone when your doctor calls. We fill everyday prescriptions, specialty medications, and hard-to-source items the big chains routinely say are "on backorder."
We serve zip codes 10023, 10024, 10025, 10069 and the broader Manhattan neighborhoods of Lincoln Square, Morningside Heights, Central Park West, Riverside, and the Columbus Avenue corridor. If you're closer to Midtown, the Upper East Side, or Harlem, our couriers cover you too - same-day, no fee.
