Goldberger's Pharmacy

Located at 1200 First Avenue and 65th Street, Goldberger's Pharmacy has been in "business for over 100+ years (since 1898), providing our patients and customers an excellent quality of pharmacy care, service and products, while maintaining your confidentiality." All that and great neon too...

It's nice to see the independent business's still surviving. Sort of funny that they survive in NYC but have lost their footing in many small towns. My Dad owned a small variety store and we worked our butts off from the time I was 7, The only pay we ever got was an ice cream or soda and as my Dad used to say a roof over our head.

Somehow how it does not seem like something one should miss, but I do.

I love it when you post photos like this. Thank you Ken

Thanks DAG, and thanks for your support a few weeks ago. I wish you had a site, I would contact you there! Stay well my friend.

Very nice.

I like the individual shop.. However, it always puzzles me that your continent calls these shops "drug stores". Is there no pressure to change this name? In Australia they are called chemist shops but are gradually being rebadged to pharmacies. I work in the Faculty of Pharmacy and I can always get someone to bite if I say they research chemist shops!!

haven't been here in a while and I want to say I love the new look of your blog, really nice.
I also love seeing old shops that are thriving. the owners seem like they care about the place, it looks so well maintained.

Not just the neon — even the display windows are great!

Nice font. Say, what's that orange protoplasm in the left window?

Nice photo, Ken Mac! The ad and the neon are great!

Love neon... soon to be a 'lost art' though, I bet. Going the way of newsprint?

I always like the old pharmacies that use neon. There is on in Harrison NY that uses the word "chemist".
