About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the streets of New York were quiet, an anonymous voice would announce over Swan Laundry’s intercom: ‘Your clean clothes are waiting for you… in the clouds.’ No one took it seriously until a regular started finding his shirts draped from ceiling fans. Soon enough, other customers began reporting strange occurrences—pants hanging from doorknobs, suits floating above tables. One day, a delivery driver found his uniform neatly folded on top of a nearby skyscraper. The owner shrugged and said, 'Welcome to Swan Laundry, where even your clothes get some fresh air!'
2. In the early mornings, before anyone else stirred in the neighborhood, a mysterious package kept appearing on the Swan Laundry porch. Inside were neatly pressed shirts and pants—none with labels or tags, as if they had materialized out of thin air. One day, an old neighbor passing by noticed the packages and asked the owner curiously where they came from. With a smile, the owner replied, ‘Ah, those are for our secret VIP customer—a ghost who appreciates impeccably clean clothes!’ The whole street burst into laughter, realizing that sometimes even the most peculiar urban legends turn out to be just good-natured fun.
3. In the dim light of dawn, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside Swan Laundry. Every day, a small pile of neatly folded shirts appeared on the sidewalk—just enough for one customer. Curious, he followed the trail and found an old gentleman watering his garden next door. ‘Aren’t those your shirts?’ asked the driver. The neighbor smiled and replied, “Oh yes, I must be forgetting to pick them up again.” And so, every morning, the shirts continued appearing, until someone finally remembered to collect them from inside.
4. At closing time, when the last customer left Swan Laundry, a small dog would appear from nowhere and dash into the empty hallway. Employees always found him sniffing around the dry cleaning machines, as if searching for invisible treats. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver brought in a package of donuts, thinking it was for his colleagues. But when he peeked inside, there were only crumbs—left behind by the mysterious little dog. From then on, everyone started calling him ‘Mr. Clean Paws’.
