NYC: C.O. Bigelow Apothecaries
The oldest apothecary in America-think the 1800s- stands magnificently, sandwiched in between the modern juice bars and superstores of an ever changing 6th avenue. While some products may be post-2000, the homeopathic and apothecaric remedies date back centuries. Even as you are putting yet another St. Tropez tanning spray in your shopping cart, just lingering below the store’s rusted neon sign and strolling the aisles will infuse you with ancient spirit and satiate your sentiments. You’re shopping through history, what more could you ask for?
