Vasken Ohanyan sits at his work table in the middle of Continental Cleaners in the In wood section of Manhattan. Piled around him are measuring tapes, fabrics and thread. The walls are lined with racks of cleaned garments. By the storefront picture window, there's a fitting room and a rack of abandoned garments for sale.rnHe tailors bits and pieces all day, stopping to buzz customers in, and often, to chat with them. Some are new to the neighborhood; some, he's known for 33 years, ever since he purchased the store. They knowrnhim as "George"-a name he picked because it's the translation of his middle name, Yourgi, which means "peasant" in Greek.
