Hi Beni_k -- this restaurant is already on the map ( way/279772352 ) and that location seems to correspond better with the address 557 Driggs. It appears your node may be on the wrong side of the avenue. Please re-check and consider deleting this new node and making edits and additions on the existing way/279772352 instead.

Hi Mission_Control -- welcome to the map & to the neighborhood.
N.b., Slope Natural Food, which you added at 77 5th Ave, is actually already mapped one block north at 61 5th Ave. The shop at 77 5th Ave is currently vacant. I changed 77 5th to "disused:shop=yes" and copied your payment tags onto the existing shop node.

Hi, thanks... pharmacy=yes makes sense to me in the same way as adding bar=yes to a restaurant or bench=yes to a bus stop. Physically, the pharmacy counter is part of the same shop: same address, same phone number, and also serves as an additional checkout area for items from the main shop. It looks and feels like part of the shop, not a separate business operating from the same premises.

I saw pharmacy=yes suggested as a combination with shop=chemist in the talk page for pharmacy on the wiki. Browsing through taginfo, it looks like it's much more common to add amenity=pharmacy to the chemist object, rather than pharmacy=yes, so I've made this change (changeset/59951758.)

That said, if this Duane Reade looks and feels to you like two separate features, feel free to map it as such -- I won't take offense. (This approach does have some advantages, like simpler encoding of the opening_hours.) And if there's an existing consensus about mapping this style of shop/pharmacy that's been discussed and documented, please point me in that direction. I read through the wiki, the July 2016 thread on the tagging mailing list, and some related issues on the iD github page, and there's no authoritative consensus that I can see. But there are over 200 Duane Reade stores in the NYC area (and, including other brands, many thousands more in the USA) with essentially the same design, so it would be great to have them tagged in a consistent way.

(As for the ATM, tagging shops and amenities with atm=yes is a well-established practice.)
