A look at the new home of 55 Express Tailor Repair on 4th Street

We've been meaning to stop by the new home of 55 Express Tailor Repair at 246 E. Fourth St. between Avenue B and Avenue C.

The tailoring and dry cleaning business relocated here earlier in the fall from 55 Clinton St. between Stanton and Rivington.

I talked with Rafael, the longtime manager of the shop.

"We service clothes for men, women, kids — everybody. Alterations, tailoring, everything." 

The shop is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ... and it's cash only. (There is an ATM outside in case you arrive without any.)

And as the name implies, express tailoring is available while you wait. 

You can call (212) 228-8909 or email Rafaelexpresstailor [at] gmail.com with questions.

Express Tailor Repair living up to its name

Bill Cashman noticed this scene last night at the 55 Express Tailor Repair on Clinton between Stanton and Rivington... presumably a shirtless man sitting and waiting for his shirt to be expressed tailored...
