From cleansing souls to cleansing clothes at 96 Avenue B



Workers are fitting 96 Avenue B – previously home to the Hare Krishnas — with a laundromat, EVG contributor Dave on 7th notes.

The Hare Krishnas moved out of their home here between East Sixth Street and East Seventh Street back in July 2011 ... The space has been vacant since then.

Previously, from 1990-1995, 96 Avenue B was home to Metropolis Vintage Apparel...

...which has been at 43 Third Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street since 1995.

Plans to add two floors to the existing two-floor building never materialized. East Yoga is housed on the second level.

Doing yoga accompanied by the scent of fresh laundry--I'll take that.

Yay! we need a laundromat here. I'm so happy something useful is happening.

I hope it's a little cheaper than the "Gentle Wash" on Avenue A. The prices at that place have just gone up and up and up.
