Dry Cleaning & Laundry

I'm a busy, single career woman, who works LONG hours and I don't want to spend the very small amount of free time that I have at the washing machine and dryer (much less cleaning the apartment - I need a really good recommendation for maid service, BTW). I really want to maintain some semblance of life that doesn't involve being Cinderella during my "off time".. This year, I felt overworked and overwhelmed and my 8 weeks + worth of dirty laundry wasn't aiding the situation.
THANK GOODNESS that an acquaintance actually recommended Laundry Locker to me. The service has been consistently good and the process of registering and choosing HOW you want your laundry done is very simple. The rates are clearly listed on the website, as well as the really easy step-by-step instructions on how to use the service:
First you GO ONLINE and register. Read the instructions carefully.
1. Drop Off - your clothes in a locker at any of their SECURE drop off locations
2. Place Your Order - on line (and some lockers, you can do it via TEXT messasge)
3. Get Notified - when they pick up your order, process your order and RETURN your clean items within the SAME locker that you dropped it off in
4. Pick Up - you go there and pick up your clean, folded laundry. (in most cases the next day, depending upon the time that you dropped off the dirty laundry)
If you have ANY questions, customer service IS UBER responsive (I've contacted them before about items that I left in a locker that I failed to log online b/c I was in such a rush before a major business trip - they got back to me w/in a couple of hours via email)
Upon return of your first order, you get a laundry locker bag with your identification tag on it. This is what you use to drop off your laundry with future orders.
They do fluff and fold and charge by the pound. They offer monthly laundry plans based upon usage, which can lower the per pound price, but it is NOT required that you enroll into a plan (the price w/o a plan is $1.49/pound). I am not currently enrolled in a plan, but probably will enroll next month.
They also do DRY cleaning (see the website for rates and instructions on drop-off)
My clothes come back clean and folded and I save HOURS by using this service. I also spent the SAME amt as I would using my apartment bldg's washer and dryer (~$40) . LOVE IT!

Most Recent Discovery
What you'll find there: Really cute, versatile pieces to construct a comfy outfit for both work and play. The designers that you find are not bargain basement, but not UBER expensive like shops in Union Square or the Marina. It is what I would consider as reasonable fashion.
What you won't find there: Overly attentive, uber excitable staff. The atmosphere is more "do it yourself" than other stores. The ladies working there are not extremely talkative (in my opinion), but are friendly enough. They are not racing around trying to cater to your every whim. Yet, they will say hello, they will ask you if you would like to start a dressing room and they will give you enough space to browse and will answer questions if you have them.
What I purchased and my experience: I bought several very romantic and flowy dresses (one with lace and the other ruffles) each for less than $80. I wore one to a holiday cocktail party (and got rave reviews) and the other, I plan to wear at work with a leather belt purchased from Picnic. Actually, now that I think of it, I think that the style reminds me of something casual enough to Urban Picnic in...English Country...a little shabby chic.
Other things to note: They also carry other great fashion accessories (saw that they sell the NUBRA - for all your strapless dress needs) and I also bought an AWESOME messenger bag from Danica Studios.
In the past it has been rather hit or miss for me, but recently my adventures have been more hits than misses.
