The Unsung Heroes
Yup, I'm talking about the lav, the john, the restroom, the powder room, the loo, the washroom, commode, privy, latrine, the water closet, the little girls' room, la toilette, the head, also known as the bathroom. Every sit-down restaurant has one... some nicer than others, and BRO wants to know which one gets your vote for the nicest.
Now, normally I dig the modern loos. The ones with the modern lighting, the sleek and snazzy with touchless faucets and dark slate floors. This morning the topic of clean and well-kept bathrooms was brought up, and it turned out that everyone at the table had their fave pit stop. We just happened to be at a neighborhood restaurant at the time, and someone at the table mentioned that the lady's lav at this particular eatery was especially nice. We snapped a photo before we left... can you tell which restaurant the washroom featured above belongs to? This one is in the running for the best powder room in the city. Do you have your favorite?
Very cool contest
yes, how 'bout the chocolate bar in downtown buffalo. fab!!
It's the lovely loo at The Coda! Do I get a gold star? Maybe a free creme brule?
DD, you get a Gold Star! Next time you got to Coda tell Roo that you won the prize and I'll pick up the creme brule.
Coles is the best. It may be cozy but it reminds me of home (minus the graffiti and large hole in the wall.
Essex st pub has an interesting john. Graffiti covers almost every square inch of that place (including the seat). I heard it was removed, though, I haven't been in a while...
I'm a huge fan of the peestops at LaTeeDa's, decorated with vibrant, hand-painted walls by artist Peter Fowler.
My home town of Seattle had an alt paper that featured a "Best loo in the city" portion of its "Best of Seattle" issue. It was always my favorite part- those "Best Of' issues can become pretty mundane after a few years.
Mens room at the North Park Theater on Hertel. Art Deco, totally original, feels like an old gangster film. I always expect Al Capone or Humphrey Bogart to pull up to the stall next to me while I'm....well you know.
Men's rooms in Kleinhans Music Hall are pretty nice in the art deco dept.
The bathroom at Laughlins is great with its TV and high powered hand dryer
My favorite Buffalo bathroom was the little pink ladies room at Roseland. I also miss the black glass top bar and the dirty martini's. I miss you Roseland.
Fiamma has the bathroom I want at home!
The Pink has by far the best ladies and mens room in the city.
and Prime 490s is alright too!
