That's the first thing I saw as I approched the premises.
There are a bunch of people loitering around which make me feel unsafe to leave my clothing alone.
Panning around and taking your focus off the artwork and you'll notice some other pleasant details. Aged tile flooring with worn character, multiple sitting areas accompanied by wooden stools, and of course the ever present change and detergent dispensers. The machines themselves are varied in size and styles. Front load, top load, tiny'ish, and gargantuan - for when those nasty comforters need to be cleaned (hopefully more then once every six months people!).
Other notable mentions are a 24 hour surveillance system (because safety first!), a cute outside smoking area surrounded by bamboo plants, and a plethora of old reading materials.
This 'mat is also surrounded by a few convenient businesses to make your wait time more enjoyable. Albee's NY gyros is adjacent (and is amazing), as is a little grocery store, and even a liquor store! Not that I condone drinking while doing laundry, from my experience it almost always guarantees that I'll slack on my folding.
Seriously just pay someone minimum wage to keep the hobos away from this place and it would be so much better! Happens every single time, they wander in looking through the trash can, pass out in front of the benches dry their dirty clothes in the dryers, "got any change, got a smoke?". So over coming here to wash my clothes.
It's actually a really nice laundromat, as far as laundromats go. But it is full of tweakers, drunk homeless, and other assorted weirdos who won't leave you alone. I just want to wash my clothes in peace.
Sketchy.
Also I don't know how I feel about this middle piece.
There is a lot of dryers and washing machines so that's cool.
But as said by other people: There are a bunch of odd and smelly people there.
This quaint (& colorful!) little laundromat offers an interesting and enjoyable atmosphere for cleaning your dirties. From the outside it looks rather bland, seemingly indistinguishable from other related businesses. however, one step inside this little gem and it's hard not to notice its charms. The first among them is the jazz music playing in the background, which must be part of the theme, considering all the William P. Gottlieb posters featuring artists from a time long past. Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker - all of them framed on the walls alongside black & white photos of Manhattan during the Jazz Age.
Honestly, this little shop instantly made it to my short list in regards to laundromats. Clean, quaint, and full of character, I would absolutely recommend checking it out and honoring it with your patronage. 4/5 stars.
Good music, creative decor, and a wide variety of people make this my favorite laundromat. Plus, when you're outside waiting the smell of the gyro place right next door is wonderful. Laundry is also less than five dollars a load to wash and dry, a rarity these days. They have a comforter/large item machine as well, and EVERY machine works.
