A dry cleaner-laundromat combo for the former Little Pakistan Deli space on 2nd Avenue



Little Pakistan Deli at 200 Second Ave. closed in January 2015... and now there's a new tenant for the storefront between East 12th Street and East 13th Street... the coming soon (with three !!!) sign announces a dry cleaning and laundromat...

  3. They better have artisanal laundry soap that's been handcrafted in the Catskills or all bets are off.

  4. Dodi and Di Corp. That place was one of my favorite EV delis . . . in 1998 it was named--on the awning and all--the Dodi and Di Corp. It kept that name for, what?, five years or so. They had a giant rack of Princess Di postcards near the counter. (And, yes, before is was Dodi and Di Corp. it was Snoopy Deli and then Noopy Deli after a cease and desist order.) Dodi and Di Corp. shows up in the photos included in the book After Diana (http://www.versobooks.com/books/1253-after-diana). And . . . and . . . they had some of the finest strange Pakistani fast food snacks around, including white bread sandwiches with a potato marsala filling, dipped in lentil flour and deep fried. Samosa sandwiches and oversized Princess Di memorial postcards! What more is there?
