In response to yesterday's posting on the two Aphrodite organic dry cleaners opening in South Harlem, Scott wrote in to say that one recently opened near him on Columbus Avenue between 107th and 108th. Being that neither of the two Harlem locations are on the Aphrodite website yet, nor the Columbus and 107th location, I checked it out last evening to see if it is part of the same chain or just a cleaners with a similar name.

As determined by the logo, the Columbus Avenue location is part of the same chain.

With all of the Aphrodite cleaners opening up, I am wondering if in the near future people will be able to tell if someone is from above or below 96th Street based on a use of Starbucks vs. Aphrodite cleaners.

Person One: Hey, wanna go see The Road To Guantanamo at the Walter Reade Theater?
Person Two: Yes. Let's meet at Starbucks first so we can sit together.
Person One: Great. How about the Starbucks at 58th and 8th?
Person Two: No, let's go to the Starbucks at 60th and Broadway.

VS.

Person One: Hey, wanna go see what's playing at Imagenation's Soul Cinema theater?
Person Two: Yes. Let's meet at Aphrodite cleaners first so we can sit together.
Person One: Great. How about the Aphrodite at 117th and Frederick Douglas?
Person Two: No, let's go to the Aphrodite at 119th and Lenox.
