I ducked into this neighborhood pharmacy one day to buy some toothpaste and discovered this odd little gem of a pharmacy. Beyond the standard Duane-Reade-type fare, they have an entire wall of gift items like candles, t-shirts, glassware and unusual craft-style items, as well as hard to find items like AromaNaturals scent bags (tiny bags with peppermint and eucalyptus scented beads inside -- great for sniffing during the winter and an excellent non-sticky alternative to Vicks for keeping colds at bay). They also carry the full range of non-mainstream brands like Burt's Bees (a personal favorite of mine), which is great to find in the neighborhood (and saves me the haul downtown to Whole Foods). Technically a pharmacy, but really so much more.
