If you do your laundry at the Mermaid Laundromat, located on Knickerbocker between Starr and Troutman streets, you might be in for a surprise should you decide to duck under the silver streamers that hang over the door to a kiosk tucked into a corner

This evening, Bushwick welcomes its first feminist, anti-gentrification book and sex shop in a centrally located laundromat right next to Maria Hernandez Park

Bar-loving peeps, get at it.
