    My go-to dry cleaner in central DC! Very reliable and affordable, and the owner is sweet. Can't recommend enough!

    Great little place, the owner waited for me a few minutes after hours while I was running late and my clothes looked great.

For now it's fine for the occasional time I need to clean a nice dress or blazer. Also I had a great experience with them fixing some eyelet that had ripped on a pair of shorts. You can't even tell and it's held up for a year now. However, when I brought in the same exact type of rip on an eyelet skirt, a different woman just said "too hard." Hmm...

    I live in the neighborhood, and I'm also rather perplexed by the negative reviews. I read reviews…read moreon yelp rather religiously (which makes the fact I rarely leave them a bit ironic) so I felt like I was taking a gamble by going here - but it was just so close by, I had to try. I was extremely pleased with the results. Over the past year I've brought dresses, blazers, jackets and even regular clothing that I don't trust my washing machine to use (it's violent and destroys everything). My clothes come back clean, on time, never damaged or still stained (on the contrary, they were able to remove some stains for me) and I'm always greeted by kind and friendly people. They take credit cards now, so the reviews that complain about only taking cash or check should be disregarded. All in all, I haven't been let down yet and I'll continue to go as long as I live here. Keep in mind most of these reviews you're reading are several years old. Managements change. Businesses evolve. And I'm willing to bet this one did.

The vendor is meticulous and attentive. A buddy of mine bought me lunch here one day. It was great. I got my hot dogs with EVERYTHING including the cooked onions. I selected my bag of sour cream and onion chips and told the vendor that I wanted a Coke. He took my bag of chips and put it in the bag. Then, digging down into the icebox inside the cart, he grabbed a cold Coke, which he wrapped with napkins before putting in my bag. Upon delivering $9 to the vendor, we then went into Columbia Plaza and sat at one of the picnic tables for our dogs. Another day, I reciprocated on the dog deal. Still $4.50. Still hot doggityness. I have been back since. These dogs even satisfy those who are sensitive to cart food (not me). In name brand sodas, I have moved on to Fanta. I love orange soda! Oh, and, the tip "jar" is a plastic cup right by the window of the cart. Hey, whadda want? Sure, it's a hot dog cart. This is not haute cuisine. It's the hot dog special!

Coming here gave me a flashback to my early childhood in the late 70s. I think my mom used to get her hair done here back in the day. Overall its not bad its just sort of blah looking. What it does have going for it is a nice open outdoor space in the middle of the shops there. Granted if you're not going for something specific (i.e. Segway or bike tour) the only other likely reason you might come by is 1. if you live nearby, or 2. if you work nearby.
