'Retail space available' at former East 10th Street laundromat

The laundromat (Chow & Lam Corp.) at 204 E. 10th St. near Second Avenue closed last month — victim of a large rent increase.

A "retail space available" sign went up on Monday, as this photo by Blue Glass shows...



We waited to post to see if we could get the new asking rent. However, we have not heard what that rent will be just yet.

Mimi opened the Laundromat with her husband Peter, who passed away in May 2000. Her son Antony worked by her side during this time as well.

I've heard $15,000 and that came from a pretty solid source. Laughable. We looked at the old Stogo space as a possible TSB outpost. They wanted $8,500 per month and the space was 400 square ( Broker listed it at 650 sq) feet at best. Greedy landlords are destroying the east village.

Wow. $15,000 for that space? Insane.
