>Duane Reade<

Please, darling, Duane Reade is not a New York experience.

If you want a real New York Experience, apply for a driver's license, go stand in line to mail packages at the post office on 8th Ave., or take the LIRR to Flushing for Chinese.

Catering to tourists' tastes is what changes these places. Americano coffee and pizza ??? I guess if they don't they can't make a living but I think it is a shame.

Buying Sudafed at Duane Reade across the street from Port Authority is no different from buying it at CVS on Broad Street in Philadelphia. The clerks in both stores look at me like I am a meth addict.

Warren, you may have been born in Brooklyn but somehow I can't picture you playing BINGO @ The Grayson with a drag queen in
the background shouting, "You
go, Glen Coco!"


Thin, old enough to remember Gus's Pickles

By the way, there is no city more genuine than the city of Naples.
