Free Public Peeing

The most important NYC map you will ever see
OK, maybe I exaggerated. Then again, maybe not.

Thank You Captain Willard at PBR Street Gang for this post.

In which, Willard included a link to the map off all the free public restrooms in Manhattan. I think i have only been to a hand full NYC public bathroom. Twice I went at a kiddie park with children in tow (I used to be a nanny). And I think I have been to a public bathroom in Central Park. Which, I remember as a painful twenty minute walk from where I was sitting reading a book.

Sometimes you just have to go. As a woman, I can't just pee on the street. Not that I encourage men to do so, or that it is legal or anything, but women can't exactly get away with it. Often, I am outraged that I have to buy a coffee in order to use the bathroom. Coffee eventually leads to having to find another bathroom and being a "customer" at another shop with a bathroom. With the cheapest thing on the menu usually being liquids, I think they have us beat. I don't think it is a ploy against any one, but it just doesn't seem fair. Restaurants sell more because I have a stubborn bladder.

Any way, check out the link to the NYC free bathroom list and to Willard's post (for a link to another, less complete, free bathroom list).
