Mishkin’s Drug Store

Mishkin’s Drug Store on Amsterdam Ave at 145th Street has been in business at this location since 1930 but the pharmacy itself dates back to the 1890s. 

For over 35 years, it has been owned and operated by pharmacist, Mr. Seung Yoo and his wife who although updated the handpainted #storefront signage, still maintain the overhanging neon sign (not in photo) which was installed in 1950. 

Our 35mm film photo was taken in 2004 and appears in our book, “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York”.
