I just moved to the neighborhood and was using my serger for the first time since dragging it 1,700 miles to NY. It was working fine - until it wasn't. Started making some noises then an entire part broke and flew off at me, mid sergering! I panicked. I don't have a car anymore (we sold them when we moved here), so I was happy to see that this shop was less than 1/2 a mile from my apartment. Yay! I called to make sure the shop was open one morning, then once I got confirmation, I loaded both my serger and my sewing machine into my wagon and off I went! I went ahead and left my sewing machine along with my serger as I feared that the long drive in the u-haul might've caused the issues with the serger, so I just wanted him to look at my sewing machine and do some overdue general maintenance while fixing my serger. He told me that he'd "take care of my babies" and I left them there along with my name and phone number. I got a call the next morning, letting me know that they were ready. That was fast! He replaced the broken part on my serger then did maintenance on both machines. They are BOTH working like a charm!! I didn't catch the man's name, but he's an older Greek guy who was very kind and friendly. We chatted for a bit each time I was there, and he was very nice to talk to. I'm so SO grateful that he's close by and does quick, good work!!!

Some of the screws of the machine came loose and He told me to adjust them myself. When I asked about why the motor was so slow he just ignored the question and was dismissive. Very dishonest person. My machine had all the original parts and was working great. Just needed some maintenance. After what he did, I wasn't able to use my machine because speed was too slow!

I knew from reading reviews that my vacuum would be in good hands at this store but I had no idea…read morethat I as the customer would be treated so well. I've never had a car living in the city but thank you Covid- car time in the city. I knew that parking on Austin would be a nightmare so I called the store ahead of time to ask Steve to help me out since i could not park. I went to drop off my Dyson handheld. Steve was meeting me out front. As soon as I turned my back to grab the unit, a police officer quietly approached from behind to write me a ticket. Steve stepped in like such a good human being. He fought for me to which the lovely nypd could not have cared less but Steve continued by saying that he would take care of me and not to worry about anything. I knew what that meant but was mortified because I was having such an awful day. Suffice to say, nothing could be done about nypd- as a woman living in nyc, when I need them, they're absolutely useless but when a person (me) tries to do things right by not double parking, as soon as my back is literally turned, for like, a millisecond, they show up to place a ticket in my windshield. All this to say, when I called today, a few days later to pick up that unit, after my ego healed a bit, Steve did not charge me for my repair which was so unnecessary and also, a good reminder that this is why I choose independently owned stores and that good people are still around. Do not ever hesitate- go to this store for all your needs. Even if it's to say hi.

As I said, its nice to see a business like this with all the big box stores and online retailers. They are in business close to 50 years, and I can see why. I wish them another 50!

I've come here 3 different times and each time I've left without making a purchase... This is…read morebecause among ALL of the inventory they have, they did not have some of the basic things that I was looking for. Sequin fabric, for instance. I asked if they had it in pink, and I was directed to a few rolls of pink LACE fabric that had some scattered sequins on it... That was NOT even close to what I asked about. Sadly, all three times I've come here I've asked if they have something specific, and I was shown something that was NOT what I asked about. I am a fashion designer with a formal education, so I am very knowledgeable when it comes to fabrics... So it's incredibly frustrating to walk into a fabric store and discover that the people working there have little to no knowledge about fabric. I've wasted my time coming here 3 times already and I will NOT be doing that again...

The Funeral Home was clean, air conditioned and comfortable. The staff was supportive and understanding.

From my very first moment I walked into the funeral home I was greeted with such a caring way that I knew this was the place.

If you are looking for a funeral home that truly feels like you are HOME with family then this is the place for you! Grateful, Rose P

Just moved into the area of Astoria, Queens and I DID NOT have anything to wash my clothing with!!…read moreAnd I have work AND I decided to hang out with a friend to catch up... so that left me NO TIME to get what I need in order to wash my clothings...I mean I do have clothing but I need my work pants lol. So I decided to come by ET laundry since it said it's open 24 hours...although when I got there at 10pm...I was confused as the doors were locked but the workers were there. They pointed at the sign that said last wash was at 10pm...so I thought I was screwed!!! But one of the worker came from the back/other door and told me I can come in. I told them I would like to drop off my clothings (and I prayed it wouldn't be expensive). I was told to put my bag on the scale, to weight it. I was also asked if it was my first time with them (which it was) and told me to write my name. SO! with the weighting and all, it came out to 16 dollars! I was told it'll be ready the next day and I asked specifically what time, and was informed after 5pm would be best. Which is totally fine with me as I ended up picking up my stuff on the Monday ... hahaha. When I picked it up, they have folded all my laundry in my laundry bag and it was so compacted compared to when I first brought it in (where I just threw in my dirty clothes). I mentioned it was $16 but I saw somewhere that you should tip and I gladly did as it was only $16 for my load (it's not a huge one maybe two weeks worth, so it wasn't heavy, nor did I have jeans in the bag or anything). I am so happy with the service, that honestly...I'm not in a rush to buy detergent and do my own laundry...though I will...eventually...when I am all settled in my new place. Will come again!

I wish I could find better things to say about this laundromat but if I'm honest, the only reason I…read morecome here is due to the proximity to my apartment. I totally understand that businesses have had to raise prices due to inflation and the economy in general, but the increases here have been rough over the past few years. Dryers were initially 7 minutes for 25 cents when I first started going here, those minutes are now 5 for 25. Washer prices have increased from $3 to $3.75 for the smallest option, with the large one being closer to $10 for just one (albeit, large) load. If the washers and dryers were new and clean it'd be one thing, but they're constantly breaking and out of order. To use the machines, you'll need to pay $1 for a card that you then load money onto. However, the chips on these cards are very fragile. The first card I had stopped working within just a few months, and when I went to exchange it for a new one they charged me for it, saying it was my fault that the card was damaged. Instead of getting upset I genuinely asked the staff what I could do to preserve this new card. He recommended not keeping the card in my wallet, and instead leaving it in a ziploc back, which I've done for the past year. It has recently started malfunctioning here and there, so I'm sure I'll be due for another one soon. TL;DR - Only good if you live close by.
