I originally found this store in college, when I spotted a brown leather knapsack in the window. That was about ten years ago and that knapsack is still going strong. This store produces leather bags, wallets, purses, and other accessories of such a fantastic quality, anything you get here is an investment.
Since moving to their Great Jones Street location, they have also added a studio to the back of the store. There, you can pick your fabric and have anything custom made to your specifications. A product of such a collaboration for me was a beautiful, paprika colored hobo bag of incredibly supple leather. I was able to choose the fabric, cut, and precise hardware I wanted and it came out to $250, making it an unbelievable value.

If you live around E. 95th street in the city, this is the best option by far for cleaners. The staff is always helpful and is outstanding at getting your clothes ready for the time they say they will. The wash n' fold is also very reasonably priced and has same day service. Drop off on your way to work and it is delivered to your building before you get home. Fantastic! They are ok at alterations which takes the rating from perfect to great. However, they stand by their word and fix any problems free of charge. Great pick for a cleaners.

I found out about Artcraft bag studio just recently. They are amazing. They take your old vintage purse or bag and they fix it up and clean it so it looks like it did the day it first came out. I love them. They even take care of broken zippers and sew up holes. From now on if I need to clean my handbag I'm bringing it over to Artcraft studio.

Ever Ready Laundromat is a very modern, cleanly laundromat. It's cleaner than most places and the washers and dryers are huge so you can do a lot of laundry in one sitting. There's also a drop off service if you are in a hurry. They do you laundry at the same day. The downside is that some of the washers are expensive and it gets crowed quickly on the weekends and during the weekdays as well

Special Touch valet cleaners provides decent service. Not fantastic, but not bad. Their prices are relatively competitive (though I miss the days of $1.35 per item in New Orleans, LA). They do a pretty nice job on the laundering of men's shirts, and you are given a choice of hanger or folded when you get the shirts back. Usually the shirts come out very clean, and the folding in the box is handled very nicely as well. They also will keep your credit card on file if you want, and then charge it when appropriate (with the customers okay of course). If you live in the neighborhood, they are worth visiting.

You have been warned: leave room in your stomach for A Salt and Battery. Even if you order the small platter of fried cod and chips, you're going to either want to lie down afterwards or go for a run. Given the thumbs up by my Brit, the fish and chips are very much like what's made at home. And that means crusty, greasy batter and chips (fries) served up with vinegar or mayonnaise as your condiments.
They also serve beverages indigent to the Brits. If you have any room leftover after meal, which is unthinkable but...try the deep-fried Mars bar. That would be an acquired taste.

I've tried many many cleaners until something shrinks, splits or stinks, but never a problem at trafalgar. Seems a bit pricy, but to know its done right, its worth it!

I used to use Jerri's a lot for my dry cleaning because they were efficient, honest, didn't shrink my clothes, offered free delivery and were in my neighborhood.
But lately, they seem to be dropping the ball. They are not as customer-service oriented as they used to be, they've increased their prices and they have new employees who are not as good as the old ones.
Also, they don't accept American Express which is the card I use the most.
If I'm in a bind, I'll go to Jerri's, but in the meantime, I'm searching for a new cleaners.
