Morning Crutches?

Where can I buy crutches in NYC before 9am?

I need to buy crutches before leaving for a trip at 9am-- I'm leaving from the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Is there any place near there that would sell me crutches around 8am? Alternatively, is there anywhere in Brooklyn? Thanks.

Some pharmacies in NYC sell crutches. I've seen 'em. They probably open pretty early.

Or, stick "medical supplies" or "surgical supplies" and your zip code into Google Maps. We found a bunch of places near Borough Park where my friend was ailing, including at least one that delivered.

Best answer: There's a big Duane Reade right near Port Authority. The number is [phone] and they're on the corner of 8th Ave. and 42nd St. They're open 24 hours - maybe call them now to see?
