Best Laundromat

TIE: Spin Cycle; Ecomat

You can't avoid it, so why not do your laundry someplace classy? Maybe Spin Cycle, a large and squeaky-clean facility with so many washers and dryers that there's never a wait. Or maybe Ecomat, whose green practices include a dry-cleaning service that uses nontoxic chemicals, and where a cool card payment system makes rolls of quarters obsolete. Either place, you won't feel the need to wipe down the cart before you drop your clean laundry into it, and that's a good feeling.
