Day-to-day services
Now that I know where I'll be living, I can put more effort into finding day-to-day services. Here's what I've found so far:
Laundry: Chip's cleaners. For $10, I can get 8 lbs of clothes washed and folded (about a week's worth for me). Same day if I bring it in before 9am, 24 hours if brought in later than 9am.
Supplies: Duane Reade. Everything I need for supplies, plus a 99 cent ATM.
Haircut: Albert Hairstylist. It cost $25 for my cut there today, but man was he good! He even took a straight razor to the edges of the haircut and put witch hazel on it to keep it from reddening.
Food: I'm still exporing the neighborhood's food spots. I've ruled out Joe Jr diner, and am not entirely thrilled with the pizza place that I visited when I first arrived. I think I can do better! Whole Foods is always there as my mainstay.
Exercise: There is a NYSC gym right down the street. I'm going to check them out.
Books: B&N, right down the street!
Did I mention that all of this stuff is right down the street? Ah, NYC.

Man this is useful! I just found out I'm going to be living at Penington Friends while I'm doing my internship this summer, so it looks like we'll be housemates! It's so nice to get more of a sense of some of the other people living there, since I wasn't able to visit before I go -- thanks for posting.
Wow, very cool! I'm glad the posts are helpful. See you this summer!
