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.
I loved this post. I’m from ontario, Canada and have never been to New York. It is on my bucket list . You can bet when i do get there i will be thinking of this post so thank you.

WRONG: "less than 1,200 real, working bathrooms exist."
RIGHT: "fewer than 1,200 real, working bathrooms exist."
Sheesh.

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