Pearl Lee’s Washtub

You should do your laundry at Pearl Lee’s Washtub, even if you spend a lot of time boasting about your in-unit washer/dryer. The Crown Heights laundrobar has a long row of shiny appliances in the front and a bar in the back where you’ll likely receive a warm greeting from not just the bartender, but also every single patron. Maybe everyone is so nice because you get a 10% discount on beer, wine, and bar snacks, like soft pretzels, if you’re doing laundry—or maybe it’s because the bartender’s mother is on aux, and doing an excellent job. Order a beer and revel in the fact that if you spilled it on your shirt you could toss it in the washer within seconds.
