Neergaard is the neighborhood's oldest local drugstore, and their 5th Avenue location is also a medical supply store, complete with wheelchair rentals (which have come in handy to my family during visits of older relatives to the area). It may not be a huge store, but it carries everything you'd need to get at a drugstore--the three chain stores within a two-block radius may have more square feet, but also carry more irrelevant items like lawn furniture and food. I think it is a testament to Neergaard's quality that it has stayed despite the influx of chain drugstores, and I hope the community will continue to support it in the years to come.
