Saturdays passing me by and the need for a few clothing quick fixes needed to occur uber local.
Allow me to preface my next statement by saying that Chinese dry cleaning services are all well and good but --- its just not my first preference in terms of tailoring my fines.
Admittedly my initial question was harebrained as somehow I thought to inquire about possible laundry services. Two different services, but still clothing related. The world has changes, services have expanded, I can go to a Mexican restaurant and I can order a hamburger or a Cesar Salad.
The attitude I received based on this innocent inquiry was about as warm as telling the upper crust Brit's that High Tea fare for lowly peasants. Dude just walked away from me and the piercing shrill of the female pointed dismissively and rapid fire repeated *Laundry on corner !! Laundry on corner!!*
But what I really was attempting to do at Second Class Dry Cleaning, where the Fourth Class treats the First Class like Third class, was to pick up my Italian and French dress shirts. I'd not allow their hands on anything I own of higher value, I have my well selected professional to handle that.
The shirts were over starched which not only do I really dislike, but its not New Your City summer appropriate. There still remained a some areas on some shirts that easily could have been better cleaned as opposed to steaming in the dirt. read more
