This is the closest laundromat, nice owners. Coin operated (quarters). They will exchange cash for change if needed and there’s an ATM inside if you need it. Very busy on the weekend, recommend weekday or weeknights to get your laundry done!

My favorite nearby watering hole, classic bar. Very large selection of black velvet paintings adorn the walls. Great food, mostly Mexican, though they have a happy hour special for a burger w fries and a pint of beer for $13. Weekend brunch is great too. Just down the street a few blocks!
