This is primarily regarding my pharmacy experience.
Echoing previous sentiments, this location is quiet, clean and friendly. Kudos to the pharmacy team for their efficiency and helpfulness during my last two visits.
I used to go to Target for my prescriptions, but since our insurance switched this is our preferred vendor. While this may appear to be a bad thing, I am quite the happy camper. The parking lot is not a zoo. Never more than one person ahead of me. Comfortable chairs to wait in. They even gave me my choice of candy bar for getting the "survey" spiel on my receipt (quite the ploy, but I'm loving my pretzel M&Ms!).
My personal care needs may belong to Target, but my drugs are strictly CVS.

Best time to stop by is after 2pm, when the food courts are closing. Otherwise, parking is not fun. I went wine tasting after a meal at Renzo's in the same plaza. Great way to unwind. And now that they sell macarons here, it's even better.

For a messy, smelly task, the team here is ALWAYS kind. They work with a smile, always ask if you'd like to keep your bags, and thank you for stopping by.
They'll even take some containers you can't normally recycle in the self-service machines.
Always a pleasure to visit. Best way to arrive is via Jamboree, exiting Warner (as if you were going to the District).

Rack after rack of clothing options await you. Dressing rooms limit items to 4 (I think) at a time. Cheap swimwear and mass quantities of outerwear for the taking. It's a free-for-all of brands, so be patient.
Got a pretty fuchsia dress with floral design and lining for $20. Now I just need a place to get dressed up for. Oh, parking can be rough, so remember it's $3.50/hr if you meter park. Otherwise, good luck finding a spot off South Park.

Nice selection of casual clothing in timeless neutrals. Sale racks are along back wall, next to dressing rooms. Scored a great camo skirt for $22, which reminds my bff of Hypercolor (did I just date myself?).
Sales staff is friendly and leaves you alone to browse. Sale items are final sale, but these are excellent quality clothes.
Since JetBlue is out of International terminal, it's never that congested. On the flip side, it takes a good 10 minutes to get to my gate once I clear security.
While I haven't been to the other CPY studios in the area, I know this is a very nice facility with showers, spin bikes and a variety of friendly instructors.
The iPhone app will list current schedules, which helps when you're on the go and not sure when you'll have time to drop in. The Intro to Power Yoga is the only non-heated class, but have a waterbottle, towel and mat handy, regardless of which you end up participating in. They also provide all three items for a small fee, if you happen to forget.
I'm sure with the Groupon that just came out, things are going to be more hectic than usual for the next couple of months, but arriving at least 10 minutes early should ensure a spot of your choice. Arriving more than 5 minutes late is a no-no, and is punishable by locking you out, as there isn't a full-time front desk person.
Studio 1 has the fireplace, 2 contains Ryder bikes, and 3 is largest in size.
The baristas here are a different breed, like they belong on a game/reality show. Full of energy, despite the continuous lines. A duo of guys were rocking out to Michael Jackson as we ordered our beverages. Folks tend to mind their own business, but it's congested enough to feel a certain lack of privacy.
They get my orders right, and the rowdy types/smokers know to keep it outside. I'm happy.
Had to cut a key, and chatted with the salesperson the whole time. Cashier even apologized when my wait was a few minutes longer than expected.
I would say just try to avoid plaza at lunch, because there are so many food options it gets rather ridiculous to find parking.
I like that you can get free tea or coffee with any purchase, because isn't that what you want with a baked good anyway?
If you blink, you'll miss it, so keep your eyes peeled for the signature vehicle parked outside, or just know it's about 3 parking lots over from Harry's Deli (closer to Main than MacArthur).
