Cure Your Ailments on Amsterdam with Chateau Drug & Homecare

On a cool October day, a man walked into Chateau Drug & Homecare at 181 Amsterdam Avenue (W 68th Street). The drugstore was pleasantly warm, with a customer or two perusing the aisles and three staff members standing at the ready to provide support. The man announced himself at the front counter and noted that he was picking up his wife’s medicine. Without skipping a beat, the pharmacist recalled the patient’s name, her prescription, and some important information for taking it. That’s the type of service you can expect at Chateau.

The pharmacist that afternoon was Morris Kubashky, who has owned the independent pharmacy since 1991. His experience in the neighborhood and in drugstores stretches back even further, to 1978, when he worked at another pharmacy across the street. Today, the pharmacy team is made up of Morry and Jay Levine, a Lincoln Square BID resident, and together they offer unbeatable service and knowledge.

Chateau is a full-service pharmacy and accepts most insurances. As Duane Reade closes its location at 1875 Broadway, locals may want to consider calling Chateau at 646-907-6061 to learn more about how to easily transfer their prescriptions. The staff at Chateau pride themselves on being fast, courteous, and helpful. It is here that you’ll have your prescription filled within 5 minutes of stepping through the door, with the pharmacist remembering your name and even offering to help with any questions you may have about over-the-counter medicines. For those unable to stop in, the team also offers free, local delivery within the neighborhood.

Beyond the pharmacy, the drugstore is full of handy supplies. The aisles are filled with everything you would expect to pick up at a chain drugstore, from vitamins and toothpaste to cleaning supplies and baby bottles. Medical supplies range from a wide assortment of band-aids and hand exercisers to bed wedges and walkers. Other unique services include daily, weekly, or monthly wheelchair rentals for those who have recently undergone surgery.

Chateau Drug and Homecare is one of those special businesses in Lincoln Square with a strong sense of community. Pop into Chateau Drug and Homecare to experience a neighborhood shop with a little bit of everything and clerks who are both helpful and knowledgeable.
