Is there a pharmacy in New York that has started selling Plan B Birth Control over the counter yet?

It's not quite the same, but Planned Parenthood has drop-in hours for picking up EC.

The EC site says November 1 is probably the very earliest this will happen.

More info about getting EC by city/state.

No, and if you're looking call ahead. I was at a pharmacy in the East Village last night and there were signs saying they had run out of Plan B. I asked about them, and the pharmacist said it's not OTC yet, but they are often out this time of year because it's orientation/start of classes for all the colleges.
