Every New Yorker knows that the best deal in town is a ride on the
Staten Island Ferry. There is nothing better than a free boat ride with cheap beer on a beautiful New York day. But few know what wonders can be found in the bathroom in Manhattan terminal. The women's bathroom is
immaculately clean and wonderfully hi-
tech with a slight prison-of-the-future
essence. You won't find any handles or knobs here since all toilets and sinks work on sensors. The decor is stainless steel (keeps you cool in the summer and frozen in the winter). Above the perfectly-spaced sinks are perfectly-spaced mirrors, and soap in nearly all soap dispensers. And as an added touch, there are paper towels for drying hands as well as an electric hand dryer. The only possible complaint is the occasional
pigeon found nesting above the entrance to the bathroom, but I think this adds to the ambiance.

- Pros - many stalls, many mirrors, toilets and sinks with sensors, plenty of paper products
