The new laundromat/restaurant created by the folks behind the transformation of Maxine’s Tap Room and the founders of Little Bread Company is close to being ready to open on Leverett Ave.
Locals Hannah Withers and Ben Gitchel, along with friend A.B. Merritt, are partnering to create a new neighborhood restaurant and bar that doubles as an eco-friendly laundromat at 737 N. Leverett Ave., in the building that was once home to a Pizza Hut location.
The new place, called Sit & Spin, will offer a menu featuring traditional slider sandwiches, made-to-order miniature donuts with various toppings, salads, and other munchable foods and eat while you wait for your laundry to wash. They also plan to serve local beer, wine, and some house mimosas.
The laundry machines will accept credit cards, and will offer patrons environmentally-friendly soaps and fabric softeners for free. The laundromat side of the business will also be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Renovations are nearly complete, and the restaurant should be open in the next month or so.
