The Landmark Tavern

Way out on 11th avenue you'll find the Landmark Tavern. Perhaps because of its way out there location, the bathroom in the establishment is not often used. For me that makes it a great find, since it's warm, clean, and at least when I was there, there was no line. Go past the bar and into the back dining area and on the left you'll see the sign for the ladies room (the men's room is right at the end of the bar on the left side as well...and I appreciate that the ladies room is a bit more secluded than the men's). The bathroom is a single with ample room. A nice touch was the coat hook on the door, so you don't have to desperately try to perch your coat on the knob or search for the least wet spot on the floor to lay it down. When I visited the bathroom there was barely any toilet paper left on the roll, though three extra rolls were left on the back of the toilet. There are three mirrors in the bathroom, with an additional one facing you as you exit the room...a bit excessive for the insecure, but ideal for the vain. A bottle of fragrant Soft Soap was available on the sink and a full paper towel dispenser was located just above the large trash bin. The bathroom smelled quiet fresh and clean, probably due to the Tri-State Scent deodorizer hung on the wall. Overall, a very pleasant experience.
