Best Place To Tarry

Tarrytown Pharmacy

Chances are, if you're a many-generationed West Austinite, your grandpa's grandma filled her scripts here. Opened the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Tarrytown Pharmacy has shuffled a few locations and owners, but it has been held and run by generations of the same Newberry family since its first decade. Boasting as broad an array of gifts and necessities as big chain pharmacies, Tarrytown, too, is more than just a drugstore. But that's where the similarity ends. The difference is in the selection. Buyers Leslie and Gail Newberry stock the shelves with local art and jewelry, seasonal curios, candy, cards, and gifts, and they even offer a gift-wrapping service. It's easy to lose an hour wandering the smartly curated aisles, inhaling the luscious body-and-bath department or choosing the perfect windup toy for the kid whose sniffles sent you there in the first place.
