“A New York drugstore nearly as storied as the city itself. C.O. Bigelow in Greenwich Village has helped heal Manhattan’s ailing for generations, thanks in large part to the work of a single family.”

"New York's most iconic "IYKYK" beauty destinations: C.O. Bigelow. The apothecary-pharmacy has been a Greenwich Village mainstay since 1838, known for its curated selection of high-quality skincare, haircare, fragrance, and bodycare heroes."

"Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s exact headbands are still available at C.O. Bigelow in Manhattan's Greenwich Village neighborhood. The Sixth Avenue shop opened in 1838. Since then, the store has expanded to include an in-house line of beauty, wellness, and lifestyle products."

"Inside the time capsule, you’ll find effervescent antacids and headache relievers hanging out with Turkish rose water, Italian toothpastes, British boar-bristle brushes you know by first and last name, sparkly things to stick in your hair, and that teal, breath-freshening lip balm of early-aughts fame."

"Ian Ginsberg stood in his West Village office above C.O. Bigelow, considered by some to be the oldest pharmacy in the United States. He was unwrapping vintage items from the early 1900s. “These items still give me chills,” he said."

"Since 1838, C.O. Bigelow has been serving New York City. "We've been here for 182 years—through world wars, blackouts, and 9/11," says president and owner Ian Ginsberg. "I don't want to say we're used to this, but this is what we were meant to do. We're the first place people call."
