I remember when I was still new to the city, maybe 2001, pre 9/11, and going into the bathrooms in Penn Station. A father took his child into one of the villainously filthy stalls, a true puddle beneath their feet, and the child screaming "Daddy, I'm scared!" Knowing chuckles from the rest of the room.

I love this post so much. The “meeting a friend but I’m early - can I hit the restroom real quick?” at a random restaurant has served me well. Knowing exactly where the restroom is in various restaurants and bars across the city is even better - just act like you’re supposed to be there and people won’t question it.

Thanks for this important public service announcement. Hotels are the best, I’m often on the look out for the fanciest option nearby.
