A laundromat with a plant shop growing through it.
La La Laundry sells houseplants and trees at 180 Avenue B in the East Village, in the same room as the laundry. Stock changes week to week, so call 212-529-8886 and ask what's in.
This is the part of the shop that confuses people, and it is the part the owners like most. Customers walk past, stop, come in and ask whether it's a plant shop, a concept store or a dry cleaner.
It's all of them. The plants are real stock, they are for sale, and they are why the room looks the way it does. One of the owners describes the shop floor in two words: it's a jungle.
Stock moves, so the answer changes.
There is no fixed catalogue. Monsteras, pothos and trees are usually around; the rest depends on the week. Call and ask, or come and look — Avenue B is open seven days.
Plants are sold in the shop. If you want one to arrive with a laundry order, say so when you call and we'll work it out.
A room you don't mind waiting in.
A laundromat is a place people endure. Filling it with plants was the first thing this business did that the industry told it not to do, and it is the reason the second shop exists.
Plants, asked and answered.
