The sign outside read, “Sunshine Laundromat & Cleaners.”
Sunshine, in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood, is perhaps one of New York City’s stranger hybrid businesses. Among the conventional washers and dryers are practical jokes, whimsical signs (“Try our gourmet vegetarian washing machines and vegan dryers”) and what aficionados say is one of the city’s top pinball-machine collections.
The well-maintained, 19-machine collection includes “Cactus Canyon,” “Big Bang Bar,” “The Addams Family Gold” and “AC/DC Back In Black Limited Edition.”
Soon, the laundromat may get an even more unusual addition: a bar. Co-owner and manager Peter Rose is seeking a beer-and-wine license, which will be discussed at a community-board public hearing on Tuesday.
