Upper East Side · Carnegie Hill · Yorkville
Dry cleaning for the Upper East Side, done in Carnegie Hill.
A family-run dry cleaner and tailor on Madison Avenue at 92nd Street. Everything is cleaned and altered on the premises, and pickup and delivery across the neighborhood is free.
Ask around for a dry cleaner on the UES and you will hear about plenty of counters. Ours is one of the few with the cleaning behind it. Milton Cleaners has been on this stretch of Madison Avenue long enough to clean the same customers’ suits, then their children’s.
Our dry cleaning machine is on the premises and approved by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and our tailor works in the same building. Nothing goes to a plant in another borough. When you ask about a stain, someone walks to the back and looks.
The neighborhood, in three plates
Three neighborhoods,
one counter.
The Upper East Side is really several neighborhoods sharing a grid. We sit in the middle of them, and our pickup and delivery covers every one.
Plate ICarnegie Hill Carnegie Hill
East 86th to 98th Street · Fifth to Third Avenue
Our home block. Townhouses, prewar buildings and Museum Mile at the end of the street. Most Carnegie Hill customers walk their clothes over, and we will gladly collect them when they would rather not.
Plate IIYorkville Yorkville
East 79th to 96th Street · Third Avenue to the East River
Walk-ups, side streets and the long blocks out toward Carl Schurz Park. Yorkville is where our pickup and delivery earns its keep: we come to your door, and your clothes come back pressed and on hangers.
Plate IIILenox Hill Lenox Hill
East 60th to 77th Street · Fifth to Third Avenue
The southern end of the Upper East Side, and still on our route. Office suits, evening wear and household linens travel up Madison to the shop and back again, cleaned by the people who took them in.
