In New York, Plan B is legal to purchase if you're 17 years old or older. You do not need a prescription, and there is typically little stigma related to the act. You can buy Plan B at many drug stores, such as CVS. However, a 2012 Columbia study found that 20% of NYC pharmacies unlawfully refused to sell Plan B to male shoppers. In other words, you should be able to find Plan B -- and, if one pharmacy refuses, simply visit another one (and there are many).
