Never Use The Public Toilets

Unless you really have to go, public toilets are not even used by discerning locals. For a world-class city hosting millions of tourists, New York has a surprising lack of public toilets. Aside from being dirty and messy most of the time, the few public toilets you find may give criminals opportunities to corner you. It gets worse in the evening in terms of sanitation and safety, so be sure to use the bathroom at your hotel before you step out. But there are other options aside from public restrooms. You can use the facilities in sizable department stores, large-chain bookstores, restaurants, and bars. Though many of these restaurants have signs indicating the restrooms are for customers only, some will allow you to use their bathrooms if you ask nicely. Fast food chains and cafes are good options, too, but it would be nice to make a purchase first. Most of the main tourist attractions also have bathrooms. Plan your day, use the toilet in your hotel before you leave, or look for a restaurant—that is your safest bet.
