There's isn't any mention of rent... but under the "comments" section...
That's right! "Ideal for a bar/restaurant. Tremendous night and weekend traffic."

Because we need more bars and restaurants and fewer things like laundromats in the East Village
There's a new listing on the books for Klean & Kleaner, the laundromat on East Second Street between Avenue A and Avenue B.
There's isn't any mention of rent... but under the "comments" section...

Tremendous indeed. I could do with a reduction in the "Tremendous Traffic" on nights and weekends.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there's a way to implement pedestrian 'congestion charging' on the weekends to enter the EV zone. Local residents would be exempt.
Put the funds from the congestion charge towards cleanup of trash and vomit left by uncouth visitors and to supplement police patrols of the streets.
A 'woo tax' if you will on the negative externalities...
That was always my favorite laundromat whne I lived down the block. They were always super nice.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for the members of the local community board. When folks look back years from now, these members are going to be held up as a prime example of how not to be a community board and their reputations both individually and collectively will be sad, just sad.
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOO!!!! This is terrible news. I love this place even if all of my tshirts are a little smaller than they used to be!

Remember that fad where a laundromat was also a bar? Maybe the new place will bring back that fad. And hey, a yoga studio is applying for a liquor license in Bushwick. http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20120911/bushwick/eco-friendly-gym-hopes-quench-workout-thirst-with-booze

The city is not for regular people anymore- who need to wash clothes at the laundromat, buy regular groceries that are not artisinal, fix a watch or resole shoes. The new NY'ers have a laundry and gym in the building and doorman to do their bidding. If their shoes wear out they go shopping. Judging by the new places I see, these "NY'ers" live in generic "luxury" condos, get drunk a lot, eat out at gastropubs or whatever all those places are called, and occasionally shop at a chain drugstore or some overpriced boutique. That's all they need apparently. Anything else that isn't based on greed and maximizing how much money can be drained out of the community at large is valueless to these soul killing developers, landlords and fake ass NY'er wannabes.
