Bubby's - Tribeca

The bathroom at Bubby's continues the eclectic and eccentric decor of the restaurant, but too much attention seems to be focused on kitsch rather than practicality. Case and point - the place is decorated with framed pictures on the pepto-pink walls, lace table cloth on the table next to the sink, and hard water stains in the free standing sink for a very grandma's-bathroom-feel, but the stalls have no trash cans (even when the sign above the toilet states nothing can be thrown in the toilet besides toilet paper, so where is one supposed to throw things?) There was also a terrible lack of toilet paper on the afternoon I was there. But, for some unknown reason, there was a spare roll sitting next to the sink, just a bit out of reach.

• Cleanliness - 3 flushes (it is supposed to feel old so it can't be too clean)
• Aroma - 2.5 flushes
• Pros - plunger, 2 stalls and if there is a really long line, there is a game room down the hall, large mirror, places in the stalls and by the sink to rest your belongings
• Cons - lack of toilet paper in the necessary places, no trash cans in stalls
• Overall experience - 3 flushes

Nancy Whiskey Pub

The bathroom at the Nancy Whiskey Pub has everything a dive bar bathroom should have. It has two non-unisex bathrooms for one, giving you a place of refuge when being eyed by some of the older drunk patrons, or a place of solace after a few too many shots; it has ample amounts of paper products; a fantastic assortment of graffiti on the walls; a place to rest your bag/jacket/etc. if you feel unsure about leaving them at your table or at the bar. The bathroom is located in the back of the bar, where the ceilings get shorter, making you feel like you're in the scene in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory right before the children enter the heart of the factory. Although here instead of finding a land where you can eat everything, you will find a single toilet, sink, two mirrors, and a plunger if necessary (nice touch).

• Cleanliness - 2 flushes
  
• Aroma - 2 flushes (located near the kitchen so the smell of fried food lingers in)
• Pros - quite, secure, large room to sit and contemplate, a counter to rest your belongings, lots of art and literature on the walls
• Cons - locking mechanism on door can be a bit hard to navigate, single bathroom = potential wait time
• Overall experience - 2 flushes
