With so many laundry vendors within a 1 block radius in NYC, it's common sense to go with the closest business. Think again; Todd Layne's operation is worth the extra mileage, trumping all competition north of Murray Hill. The wash-and-fold system takes on a new meaning of ""personal care"", as Todd's diligent staff will cater to your every whim (separate whites/dark, preference of wash temperature, option of fabric softener). Moreover, your load is washed in a separate machines, so the chance of finding your neighbor's polka-dot undies in your clean pile is slim to none. It's even common to find the proprietor there himself, providing a friendly smile and an air of comfort that goes a long way in this concrete jungle. The only downside: it took nearly a year's worth of residing in the area to discover Todd Layne's; thanks.
Pros: Personal Care, Friendly, ""Green"" Cleaning Options
