Walking into a public bathroom at a park in New York City is always a new and different experience. In fact, it’s probably best to always walk into one with the assumption that something weird or dangerous is going on inside so that you don’t end up falling victim to something.
That said, we were totally thrown off guard when we walked into the men’s room at the Bay 8th Street park in Bath Beach.
Yes, yes it is a SPOTLESS stainless steel set up that appears to be scrubbed down on a daily basis with Brillo.
It has no privacy once inside due to no doors or walls around the toilet which makes the fact that the outside door remains propped open all the more chilly and raises the question: Is it indecent exposure to be bottomless while on the toilet when the only door around is wedged wide open?
Also, this mystery soap had us scratching our head.
What happened to the soap dispenser that is clearly on top of the sink? Why isn’t that good enough to be used? Did they lose they key? Also, who in their right mind would use a pink liquid that is inside of an old Poland Spring water bottle that is labeled ‘soap’ in a public bathroom that is in the middle of a park?
