Launder’n Luxury

I’m from NYC, where the laundromats are often small and ALWAYS packed with people, so this place seems large and spacious to me. (I’ve never been there when all the machines were busy.) However, they are not diligent about keeping the machines clean. By that I mean the intake chute on each machine where the detergent is added. The intake chutes always get caked with detergent, and since the rinse water rushes through the chutes, I worry that the clothes are not coming out fully rinsed. I asked them about it once, and my recollection is that they said they clean the machines once a week. They SHOULD clean them every day. When I go there, I always look for a machine that doesn’t have too much detergent caked in the chute, but I shouldn’t have to do that.

Wash, dry fold. Easy
Decent amount of machines
There’s food right next door
This has been my go-​to laundromat for a while now, as it’s halfway between work and my apartment. For a few cents more than it costs to sit and wait for your laundry (okay maybe more than a few cents), you can drop your stuff off there in the morning and it’ll be cleaned, folded and hung up by mid-​afternoon.
I’ve never had anything go missing here or seen any errant stains that were not previously there. It’s a solid deal for busy folks. They will pick up and deliver too, but that’s not my cup of tea.
It’s a strange place though, and it seems like in the evenings there’s a revolving door of crazies coming through aimlessly. The staff there, while friendly, is a bit young and seems to have trouble telling these folks to leave. On te plus side, there’s a deli right next door which makes for a good dinner option if laundry and Jeopardy on the place’s television are your evening plans.
