More about Rite Aid's closure on E. 14th St.

As we reported on Monday, the Rite Aid at 516 E. 14th St. between Avenue A and Avenue B closes at the end of this month... to yield to a new 8-parcel development on this block.

A reader spoke with the head pharmacist and shared this info: The pharmacy will close for good here after tomorrow. All prescriptions will be automatically transferred to the newish Duane Reade on First Avenue at East 14th Street.

Per the reader: "Obviously this is for convenience since the Duane Reade is the closest drug store ... but if anyone wants to switch to another area pharmacy they can by calling the Rite Aid ... or even the Duane Reade after Friday and making arrangements."

    I get all my legal drugs from the Block Drug Store on East 6th Street and 2nd Ave.
    The others I get from Bobby.
