Laundry Talk!

Good news! I heard today that there are laundry facilities in the basement.  Up until this point, I had envisioned myself trudging through the neighborhood streets with laundry basket in hand. Of course, I am somewhat saddened by my realization that missing out on a visit to the laundry mat means I miss out on an opportunity to meet some of New York's most "interesting" and diverse people.  For me, this is one of the aspects of this trip that is most appealing but if I had to make a wager, I'm quite sure I will come upon them somewhere else.  :-)
