This place is so unique there is not even a correct category for it. This is probably the last remaining traditional Chinese hand laundry in the city. Dennis does not even take in dry cleaning(as he once did) as the people he used to send it out to became unreliable. But he and his wife still do all washable items(shirts, pants, table-cloths, etc,) the way they, and Dennis’s parents before them, have always done them– by hand, from start to finish. It begins by marking your initials with India ink inside the collar of your shirt, and ends with hand pressing with an ordinary iron on a big padded counter-top. It will take a week, sometimes two, to get your items back to you, so this is not the place for people in a hurry. And the tiny shop has not changed(though the prices have) in any appreciable way since 1935, so it is not the place for people who want the latest. But every item will be checked individually, treated with care, and finished to perfection. And if you ask Dennis about the plants in the front window, he will tell you some secrets about how to make bonsai from a Benjamina, or how to get the Queen of the Night to bloom.
