Wishes Come True: Two Dry Cleaners Opening In Harlem
No more need to carry one's dry cleaning to work, making the arm carrying the load even more sweaty than the rest of one's self. Two Aphrodite organic dry cleaners will be opening up in South Harlem for those of us damping up office attire in the summer heat. (I suppose they can also be used by those spilling caviar on themselves.)
I am sure my office mates are just as excited as I am.
The first is at 304 West 117th, between Frederick Douglass and Manhattan Avenues.
The second is on Lenox Avenue at 119th Street in the Normandie.

An Aphrodite opened up around the corner from our place on Columbus (b/w 107 & 108, I think) a few weeks ago. We didn't really need another dry cleaners in the neighborhood, but at least it differentiated by being "organic." Too bad it replaced a hip little bar (Del Bar)...

There's an excellent cleaners (Mom & Pop style) at 1400 on Fifth (1400 5th Ave, Btw 115th/116th St). I would go to them before I patronized any chain. Its cheap too..

Aphrodite has the worst customer service of any cleaner in the neighborhood. Since they are a small operation, right next to my apartment building entrance and environmentally friendly, I have given them an 8 month grace period. During this time, they have lost clothing, damaged clothing and frequently forget to deliver my clothes.
