My vote goes to Mission Laundromat on 22nd right next door to the Latin American Club.  You’ve got $2 basic machines, $4 and $6 heavy-duty units, and 7 minutes of drying per quarter.  Ample seating has been introduced to augment the jury-rigged wire bench pictured at the front here, making for a nice lounge in which to catch up on that Milan Kundera novel you’ve been putting off (as long as you don’t mind the hospital-bright fluorescent lights, rhythmic drone of overloaded washers, and frequent visits and appeals from panhandlers).  Best of all, your friends on their way to a quick drink next door will often spot you and invite you to come along!

Anyone else have any suggestions?  Until I hear about a better one, I’m declaring this one the winner.
