Sunshine Laundromat in Greenpoint on Manhattan Avenue is just like every other laundromat, with coin operated washers and dryers, some vending machines, detergent and folding tables. There is one big difference between Sunshine and other laundromats though… this one has a pinball speakeasy and bar hidden away in the back. Check it out in this video from our friends at Atlas Obscura.
Sunshine Laundromat, located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, is half laundromat, half pinball bar. In fact, it’s the only laundromat in New York City that’s allowed to serve alcohol. But what actually goes on behind-the-scenes? In this episode, we ask owner Peter Rose a few questions about this unique laundromat. From the weirdest thing they’ve ever found to the ‘best’ pinball machine in the establishment, Peter patiently answered our many questions and offered an insight into this secret world inside the unassuming laundromat.
