New Yorkers get a thrill at the 24-hour nature of the city. Thanks to this round-the-clock garment-care service, we can add dry cleaning ($5–$9), laundry ($1.25/lb) and shoe shines ($9–$40) to the list of things available day or night. There are no staffers at this ATM-vestibule-like space; instead, you’ll encounter 100 four-foot-tall lockers, where you can safely stash your dirty threads or kicks, and pick them up squeaky-clean one to two days later. Sign up for a free account online and you’ll be able to access the always-locked storefront with a swipe of your credit card at the door. Get a dress ($9), blouse ($6), pants ($6) or shirt ($4) dry-cleaned and pressed, or have all your clothes washed and folded ($1.25/lb). You can also spiff up your shoes ($9), boots ($18) or even your Uggs ($35–$40). If you have leather that needs attending, DashLocker services jackets ($50), skirts ($45) and, oddly enough, chaps ($60).
