Duane Read is coming to town
Up to Neighborhood Discussion
It looks like DR inked a 10 yr lease in the Rockrose building. However, it seems like they do not have a grocery store yet.

Rockrose just landed its first retail tenant at East Coast, its new luxury rental apartment project in Long Island City. And guess what - it's Duane Reade! (You expected Harrods?)
The ever-expanding drug/convenience retailer inked a 15-year lease for 10,000 square feet. Duane Reade was repped by Winick Realty's Jeff Winick.
Rockrose VP Patricia Dunphy said 20,000 more square feet next door are being targeted for a food market.
East Coast consists of two towers - the first is already 80 percent occupied. The Duane Reade will open in 2008 when the second tower is finished.

This is the best news in the whole world. It can not come soon enough. 
This isn't to say Vernon isn't a great place, but now we'll have somewhere to go after 6 and on the weekends...
