We’re loving the new neighborhood: Lower Manhattan is pretty amazing on a sunny day, and we’ve had a string of ’em. Yet as New Yorkers, we’re entitled to our pet peeves, and one remains the comically slow checkout line at most Duane Reade drugstores. This morning, a quick pre-work pop-in for a pack of Kleenex resulted in a 7-minute wait as one clerk struggled with a purchase, another had a snafu with an elderly customer (of course!) and another two attempted to unwrap tight rolls of change. The line grew a dozen strong before a cavalry-like clerk rescue occurred from some hidden back room. Oh, all of which reminded us of number 15 from Manhattan’s “25 Ways To Instantly Improve NYC.”
