On 11th Street, a dry cleaners replaces a dry cleaners

Pinnacle Cleaners closed in March after 15-plus years at 299 E. 11th St., just east of Second Avenue. 

We figured the place might be fitted for some kind of shop selling things by the bowl or cup.

But, as Choresh Wald points out, the space is now Prime Time Cleaners.

Sometimes a former dry cleaners becomes a wine bar. Sometimes it just becomes another dry cleaners...

  1. This was the space Ruzi (designer and creator of jewelry) moved into over 30 years ago after he was forced to leave his longtime storefront in the theater building on 2nd avenue.

    1. Job Ruzi was a delightful man. Told me a lot of great stories. Did you know he ran track in high school? He used to call me twinkle toes because I would bop down the steps in the building where we both lived. Great character... and talented!

  2. They might have gotten set up pretty fast, but they're not doing much to make it look like they're staying very long. They scraped "Pinnacle" off of the "Pinnacle Cleaners" awning, so it just reads "Cleaners" now.
