Finding an available bathroom in NYC is no easy task.
When asking where the bathroom is in a pizzeria or coffee shop to only be directed to the hotel across the street is something many New Yorkers are used to. The pandemic has only further complicated many of our requests to memorize and find the most accessible bathrooms in every neighborhood.
Many have tried to document the best places to pee across the five boroughs since the struggle to find a good, decent public toilet when you are out and about is real. Many have failed.
Enter TikTok user @got2gonyc — which not only seeks out bathrooms in venues that are accessible to the public but shares videos giving you a preview of your experience. The content is so good, that you will find yourself making a destination out of using the magical restrooms.

The account has checked out some of the prime bathroom-less locations across the city and has offered instructions on how to use the facilities. For example, The Marriot Marquis in Times Square has an accessible bathroom on the 6th Floor, SoHo's Crate and Barrel has restrooms on the 2nd Floor, just up the escalators, and you can be an Anna Delvey-esque swindler by sneaking into the bathrooms on the second floor of 11 Howard, the boutique Hotel that was one her residences.
More secret bathrooms include a public bathroom underneath the Rockefeller Center as well as the pristine facilities at Brookfield Place downtown. The account also shares codes to locked bathrooms at places like McDonald’s, Taco Bell, and Starbucks. But be forewarned: We all know these are likely subject to change with leaked public knowledge.
