Pine Street Cleaners

$ 73 for about 2lbs of laundry, 5 dress shirts and 1 dress. I’ve lived in Manhattan for 12 years… totally ripped off a tourist friend of my mine. Stay away, hope you go out of business. Caveat emptor.

I just moved to the area and needed a dry cleaner. A neighbor suggested pine cleaners. I tried them out last week. So far I am very happy with the quality of service they provided me with. Polite, pleasant, and meticulous. Highly recommend.

$ 65 to tailor a regular white button down? FUCCCCK out of here… are you serious? I turned right back around and walked away… this place seems to invent prices for whoever they want to. its crazy.
STAY AWAY!!!

Super expensive at $ 4 a shirt. Credit Card machine wouldnt work, even though i used my card right before and right after visiting Pine Street cleaners. She said it was my card that didnt work…
She said she preferred cash. Pet peeve, i dont care what you prefer, i can pay how i want to pay.
Won’t go back. Plenty of other places with better service and better prices.

Yes, it’s more expensive than some other places, but you get what you pay for. They took out some really horrible oil stains in two of my favorite dresses! I will definitely be back, this is one of the best cleaners I’ve ever been to.

I will not lie, the prices are high. But if you have nice things, this is the place to bring them. The people who work there are very nice, quite knowledgeable, and will give you fair warning if something may become damaged in the process of cleaning. The customer service is top notch (the owner opened the door for me after the shop closed) and the hemming is good quality, though again, pricey.

A little pricey, but they do solid work. I brought in an vintage bathing suit that had ripped — i had pulled too tightly on the drawstring — and the folks at Pine Street sewed them back in stronger than before. The first tailor/​seamstress I brought them to just threw up her hands, so I appreciate Pine Street’s willingness to work. I would recommend, at least for this type of work.

My suggestion to anyone who is looking for a great dry cleaner and tailor in the Financial District, is to walk straight past the front door of Pine Street Cleaners and don’t look back. Having been their customer from 2005 – 2009 when I lived in FiDi, I knew they were expensive, but the close proximity to my building kept me coming back.
This past week on a business trip back to the City, I dropped off a pair of suit pants to be tailored. Firstly, a simple hemming with a straight cuff was priced at $ 26. Secondly, the seamstress assured me they would be ready by midday in two days time, so that I could take them with me on a scheduled flight. When I stopped back in to pick up the pants, they were not ready. The seamstress was flat out rude to me when I reminded her that we had agreed on the pick up time, and seemed put out that she now had to prioritize the job. When I returned to pick the pants up later that day, they’d been hemmed to short and she proceeded to blame me, stating that it was my fault and that I’d asked for them to look like that. I’ve had plenty of pants hemmed and I even brought in my suit shoes to make sure she could pin the break correctly. The kicker of it all, is she told me I would need to pay an additional $ 26 to have them re-​hemmed! After a lot of back and forth discussion, a few reminders that the customer is generally right, and a subtle hint about the power of social media, we settled on an additional $ 8 fee to correct her mistake. Are you kidding me?
So if you’re looking for a tailor who can give you a new custom look where your suit pants actually show your ankles, and you don’t mind being verbally accused and abused through the process, then Pine Street Cleaners is a great bet for you!

Somehow I got gum on my suit pants. Tried putting the pants in a freezer and scrapping the gum off with a butter knife. Didn’t work.
Took my pants here and they got the gum out. Also told me to not scrape the gum further into the fabric next time. It cost $ 12 but they got the job done and that’s what I care about.

Expensive, yes, but worth it for your nice clothes. I had ill-​advisedly ordered Tacos at Washington Common and got some all over a silk Theory top. These cleaners got it right out. And they will deliver to you if you’re nearby.
They claim to be cash only, but I was $ 20 short and they allowed me to put the balance on my credit card.
One caveat about this place, I brought in a Madewell dress that I wear all the time in the warm months and was beginning to tear. They repaired it, but when I got it back I noticed that there were more tears along the side that weren’t there before. I took it back and they fixed it for free.
All in all, I was pleased with the quality of their services. But I can’t use it as an every day cleaner because of the prices.

Good service, a little more expensive than most dry cleaners but they get it done same day and deliver to the doorman.
Recommend if you live in the area.

Buyers BEWARE.
I don’t generally write bad reviews, but under the circumstances, I have to say this one is warranted. I stopped in last Wed. with 2 suits and a pair of pants to be hemmed– a rather simple job. I was assured the alterations would be completed and delivered last Friday. When I asked the price, I almost fell down ($ 168). adding a little insult to injury, they only took cash but I was told «as a favor» they would accept a debit card. I was in a jam and needed the suits for Monday so I agreed.
Friday came and went– no answer on the phone. I called on Monday, having to make due and was told «oh– I deliver in 2 hours». When I asked what had happened on Friday and politely asked why I was not notified, I was told «she must have forgot», referring to the onsite tailor. As if that was not enough, When I got home to find that they did not complete the job, but I paid full price in advance, I was fuming. of course they’re closed after 6PM.
Never again. now I have to try and recover the $$ that I overpaid on what has already cost more aggrevation than the suits were worth.
I woudl suggest ANY place would provide better service– most with better pricing. I wish I could award a ‘negative’ star.

They are expensive and ruined my silk dress. There’s splotches all over the dress and it’s completely discolored. Used to be a deep purple now it looks faded and grayish!

EXHORBITANT PRICING! This dry cleaners and tailor shop is conveniently down the street from my apartment. The owners are very kind and are easy to communicate with as they speak excellent english. Their tailoring is solid, however, they charged me $ 72 to alter one suit jacket! You can have the same work done elsewhere in Manhattan for $ 35 per jacket. Their dry cleaning is also very good but at ~25% premium over other shops. Unless you can bleed money, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Stopped in here to bring in all my boyfriends suits & shirts– I don’t really get dry cleaning often but it was about $ 33 total. The owner was sweet and very helpful when I told him we needed it as a rush.
They are cash only and are only open Monday-​Friday so if you need something on the weekend you’re out of luck…

I sometimes wonder if this dry cleaner made a deal with the devil. They’re that good.
Ball-​point pen scrawls on my favorite grey skirt? Gone. Mysterious sauce stain on my blue taffeta strapless dress? Vanished. Black tarnish from a silver brooch that leached onto the lapel of my cream colored linen suit? Without a trace. Whenever I’ve had a really bad stain on a really nice garment I’ve taken it to these guys, and they always get it completely out, without damaging the item at all.
Also, tailoring. After some disasters at other establishments, this is the only place in Manhattan I would send my clothing to go under the knife (er, scissors). I’ve had them take in the waist on two vintage tops, adjust hems on jeans (they use the more complicated technique to shorten the leg while keeping the original hem intact), and re-​weave my cashmere coat where the fabric had become threadbare. They did an absolutely beautiful job on everything.
On the downside: They’re expensive. The price is absolutely worth it if you need something special, and I’ll go out of my way to use this place in that case. But for my regular dry-​cleaning I go somewhere a bit cheaper and closer to home.

After a disastrous experience with the outsourced dry-​cleaning in my nearby luxury apartment building (my gripe about the AWFUL experience at 10 Hanover will have to wait), I have been trying out local dry cleaning establishments.
I have been looking for friendly customer service, reliable and reasonably fast work, and reasonable prices.
I have had to basically forget about reasonable prices– pretty much all the places i the area aren’t cheap.
Pine Street cleaners, however, won my business by being super-​friendly, having delivery to my building available, and having my stuff done when I needed (1 day).
Sure, it’s cash only and they might not be open on weekends, but I’ll be back over and over again after a great experience.

Expensive tailoring and dry cleaning compared to other neighborhoods, but if you live in the area, they’re worth a visit. I go to them instead of the dry cleaner offered by the valet in my giant high-​rise building (who didn’t even bother to remove a crusty dollop of burrito juice that was on one of my jackets and which I subsequently scraped off with my fingernail).
PROS: Detail-​oriented. Excellent stain removal abilities. Tailoring is decent. Friendly mom and pop. Might deliver if you live close.
CONS: Expensive. Cash only. Limited hours (close at 6pm, not open weekends).

The Google map has this location wrong. It’s actually on Pearl Street between Pine and Wall streets. The address is listed correctly. Great service if you’re staying in the Financial district. Quick and good value.
