StreetLevel: Henry St Pharmacy Reopening as a 'Farmacy'

An invitation has gone out informing of an open house this coming Saturday for the Brooklyn Farmacy, the new venture in the long-shuttered storefront on Henry and Sackett. The business is described as follows: “Providing fresh, local and organic farmed goods with a soda fountain in the hospitable setting of a 1920’s pharmacy.” The opening of the new biz has been discussed since June. Lost City, meanwhile, writes that the Farmacy is occasionally open nowadays, and that one can purchase very old goods like a tin of Sucrets from the ’80s for between 50 cents and a dollar.

Me too, out of town. Too bad. I love Maine and lobsters and Maine lobsters.
Yeah… I know the guy who’s bringing the lobsters. Alas, I will be out of town. Herrumph.
350 lobsters? For real?
And the tin of 20-something year old Sucrets . . .
Surreal. Well, I think it’s always been a little surreal over there, opened or closed.
I’m excited about this. If you want a local pharmacy that’s entertaining, go to Clinton Apothecary (the one mentioned by CG ups) on Court. They’re always cursing and fighting and insulting the customers. It’s fun!
These guys are good dudes. I heard yesterday that this open house will involve 350 Maine lobsters. 350! Holy lobster bake!
Is this a joke? Tin of Sucrets?
OK, stand back, good comment coming: I heard a new word last night – “locavore”. A person who eats only local products 9as much as possible).
it’s not a pharmacy though. it’s going to be a fresh food market. i agree though. i hate the duane reade on smith and the one on clinton is too small and doesn’t carry enough stuff.
Yes they need more pharmacies in Carrol Gardens. It is not good if you have to walk more than a block to get to one. After all they are not eating foos but medication, so away with the supermarkets and lets open another pharmacy.
The Vermont Pharmacy was briefly open after I moved to Carroll Gardens in the mid-1990s. I’ll be very curious to see what they’ve done with the place now that they’ve cleared out a decade’s worth of old newspapers and other debris and reopened the place.
ROFL, *rob*. I don’t see myself buying Sucrets from the 80s!
