Um, .Joe? Had you maybe thought about using the Internet (you're soaking in it) to find the nearest self-service laundromat? Google maps business search or even Switchboard would have probably gotten you faster (and better) answers than you got. Sometimes technology is better than "the human touch".
And those prices at the hotel laundry? Daaaaaamn! At " $7.00 per t-shirt, $14.00 per pair of pants, and a whopping $5.00 per single pair of unmentionables" they're making a total killing when you consider they're probably paying the laundry staff minimum wage. And they're probably tossing your stuff into huge batches of clothing too, so it's not like they're lovingly hand beating your clothing on a rock in the stream and hand wringing them.
The hotel only charges that much because they know that the average American is WAY too lazy to look around for a laundromat... or leave the hotel for reasons other than sight-seeing. Convenient that the little Chinese woman had that picture!

How is having a picture of Chairman Mao Tse Tung convenient other than confirming her country of origin? _________________ This post brought to you by Petty Revenge: When not being a jerk just won't do.
I used google, i used google maps, I used mapquest, I used Yahoo maps... none of them found the dopest route.
Silly Joe, that's why you use Google maps Find Business option and type "self service laundromat" and "42nd street and 2nd avenue" in the "what" and "where" boxes.
Granted, you wouldn't want to use their "driving directions" if you're hoofing it since the driving directions are based on the fact that NYC is a land of many one way streets.

Hell, that's just a fact of life in cities, downtown Seattle is like that, and downtown San Diego was the same way if memory serves. _________________ This post brought to you by Petty Revenge: When not being a jerk just won't do.
