All toilets
A The Ancott (5.00/5)
One of the best bathrooms I've ever come across. The people were so friendly and accommodating of my urgent need. I can't imagine having a better bathroom experience anywhere else. Thanks again!
B Vintage (4.67/5)
These 2 private bathrooms are very clean and spacious with bonus air freshener provided! The bathrooms are in the back on the left wall which is shielded by a curtain which enhances the overall privacy. You should have no problem strolling to the back to take care of business.
C Woorijip (3.67/5)
This Korean snack shack provides us with good, cheap korean food, microwaves, free water, and clean bathrooms. There are two single-occupancy rooms all the way in the back to the right, one for men and one for women. Sometimes there is a wait, but never a long one. There is only one sink and it is in the waiting area, which is also about 2'x4', so there can be some uncomfortable squeezing when it's time to wash your hands.
D Lower East Side Tenement Museum (4.33/5)
Besides having an excellent selection of coffee table books and souvenirs that you actually want to buy, the gift shop has a well maintained bathroom that is free to the public. The bathroom was as I remember nicely scented and single-stalled. The wait before the paying-tours can be two or three women deep, but due to space limitations and entertaining material around, lines don't form very deep because people can browse a book while keeping an eye on the status of the bathroom line. At least you don't have to stand there thinking that you have to pee. An annoyance that most women have to go through either at Barnes and Noble, (no books around since its separated by a theft detector and usually down a hall), at music concerts and sports stadiums (the worst, no reading material, everyone has to go at the boring periods, set changes, half-time, ect). It is nice to go in look at their merchandise without buying anything, because most of the people there are just milling about waiting for their tour to start, and its easy to mix-in without appearing that you are just going there to use their bathroom.
E Conservatory Garden, Central Park (1.00/5)
Perhaps the best public toilet to be found in Central Park. Unlike the one near Sheep Meadow, which has incredibly long lines on beautiful Sundays when people are sipping their illegal wine and beer, the Conservatory Gardens draws the more geriatric and slow moving crowd. Unlike the Sheep Meadow which is used for frisbee and football throwing, the purpose of the Conservatory is to reflect and admire the pools of water, large koi, and fauna which is by nature a more solitary activity. On the particular Fall afternoon that I visited, half of the people were in wheelchairs of groups of two and three and the other half were singles and of these the majority were of the older set. While incontinence tends to set in with growing maturity, this still does not offset the sheer number of people that use Sheep Meadow on a good day, plus the speed at which the collegiate-type groups and consume and metabolize alcohol. While being in less use which equates to being more clean, the Conservatory also has more dedicated personnel to upkeep the premises. There were several groundskeepers there to prune and keep the shrubbery in angular shapes whereas the Sheep Meadow is just one big lawn that requires it being mowed. Also being a space that is rented out for weddings and events, the bathrooms I assume would have to be decent enough for people dressed in fancy clothes to use. As you can see, it is a far superior bathroom.
G Mé Bar (La Quinta Inn's Roof - 14th floor) (4.00/5)
This bar is located on the top of the La Quinta Inn and as a result anyone is allowed to head to the 14th floor no questions asked. The bathroom is to the right of the elevator before you get to the bar so you don't run the risk of getting questioned. It's a single unisex bathroom so later in the evening the line will get long but it's clean and private and easy to get to.
H Olive Garden (2.00/5)
walk in, pretend you are going to the bar, continue past, bang a hard left and you are in. Mens and womens. Stalls and doors go from ceiling to floor.
I Barnes & Noble at 86th St/2nd Av (2.33/5)
On the upstairs on 2nd floor after taking escalator or elevator, head over to southeastern section of bookstore, where they have two public restrooms. One for men and one for ladies.
There is also cafe on 2nd floor.
J Edison Parking (4.33/5)
Very small single person room. Slightly cramped space, but still enough room to get the job done. Can be found on the left-hand side of the building, near where cars exit and next to the office. You enter a small foyer and the restroom is the door on the left. Automatic hand dryer often turns on as it's right in front of the toilet. Worst complaint is occasional spots of urine on floor as some people miss. Cute car designs in the wall tiles.
