dry cleaners

I take all my work clothes to be dry cleaned so this has been my biggest challenge since moving to GWH quite a few years ago.

I really recommend the dry cleaner on Bartel Pritchard Square (next to CT muffin). I don't know the name of the place but they're the best. Always great with cleaning and alterations. They hemmed all my drapes for really cheap when I moved. One day I stopped in to have a coat button reattached that had popped off on my way to the subway. They fixed it in 2 minutes and refused to take money to do it. Unfortunately, they're so far out of the way for me now that I only take stuff there that really needs special attention.

That said, I used the place on 4th and 23rd for quite a while but I got sick of damaged buttons on the blouses almost every time. The last straw, after worse and worse incidents of broken buttons, was with a brand new shirt (worn once). The buttons were unique and on the first cleaning three of the buttons were completely chewed up and destroyed, and only 2 replacements came with the shirt. I have no idea what they were doing to the shirts, but I just couldn't keep going back.

I should say though that I never had any problem with their service on men's shirts. And they are in a convenient spot.

Now I've been using Danny's (?) on 5th between 20th and 21st for about the last year. They're ok except their closing time is unpredictable, I brought home extra clothes that weren't mine once, they lost my clothes once for a few days, you have to watch your bill because their math is wrong more often than it's right, and their english is very limited so special requests are out of the question (unless you speak spanish). No damaged buttons though!
