9st Laundrette Cleaners to close at end of the month

Another one bites the dust. 

After nearly 20 years in business, 9st Laundrette Cleaners (334 9th St, between 5th and 6th Ave) will have its last wash and dry on Monday, July 28. Its reason for closing is a common one: increased rent. In this case, an increase so high (more than double) that no laundromat (let alone small business) will ever be able to sustain itself in that area. 

If you've ever been, then you know just how sad this is. Mr. and Mrs. Lee are incredibly wonderful people. Polite, hard-working, positive, accommodating — they treat every one of their customers (myself included) with the utmost kindness and respect. The space itself isn't the most high-end or fancy, but dammit if Mr. and Mrs. Lee don't keep that place spotless. And whether you do your laundry there or drop off for wash/dry/fold service, Mr. and Mrs. Lee always make the über annoying process of "laundry" not seem like a chore. Of all the wash/dry spots in the area, 9st Laundrette Cleaners is by far the best. 

Which brings me to my next point: where the hell are all the 9st Laundette Cleaners customers going to wash their clothes now? Because I'm seriously at a loss here. I've been going to that place for 9 years now, and I'm not sure where to go next. I've been to Suds on 6th a few times while a friend was doing laundry, but those owners seem like complete jackasses (I've seen them scream at customers on more than one occasion). I hit up that laundromat on 7th ave and 14th street once when I was really desperate and feeling too lazy to walk down to 9st, but it's super crammed in there. And there's that other one down on 5th Ave and like, 13th St that seems okay, but I heard their machines are way overpriced. Should I try Laundry.bz? Or is there some other place I should consider? 

Let's figure this out together in the comments section.
