Proletariat, beer bar behind Jane’s Sweet Buns @proletariatny (Taken with Instagram at Proletariat)

Hard to find beers, beer cocktails on tap, playing Snoop Dogg, and a bathroom wallpapered with old pictures of Russian prison tattoos. Add to that how it can be found behind a bakery serving pastries inspired by cocktails, and you have everyone ever’s dream spot. Check their beer menu here or scan the QR code with your phone when you get there. It’s only been open a couple weeks, so the bathroom is in good shape. It’s down at the end of the very narrow bar. Those people you have to shove past dont mind being rubbed up against one bit. Its that kind of place.

What kind of a name is Haab for a Mexican restaurant? I know Spanish and that doesn’t mean anything in Spanish. Whatever. It doesn’t matter. The food is really good. I have a thing for Mexican food and Haab has been there for me many times. I have to point out that complimenting the food does not mean Im a fan of the service. It varies from really perky, borderline too nice waitress to waitress who doesnt know what pinto beans are. So you know what normal people do, instead of tearing the place a new one on Yelp? Just get take out, you dingdong! That’s what I do. But this time I ventured in and got lucky with not just a great waitress, but also bathroom pics. Its off to the side in a narrow hallway, only one room, but decent enough for 3 flushes. Its a Mexican place. Cut the bathroom some slack.

I don’t do this often but I want to show my hometown some love by supporting a great restaurant in a developing area. Joey’s is a great place to fill up at before heading over to party. It’s in the Wynwood area of Miami, mostly known for its monthly Saturday art walk and for being one of the few places other than the beach where you can have a good time. In case you’re thinking of never going to Joey’s because it was robbed at gunpoint recently, don’t do yourself the disservice and don’t be a fucking chickenshit. This area will never be all it can be if people are scared off my some thugs. Same could have been said about a lot of areas in New York not too long ago. These are pictures from when I was last home, in December of 2010, that I had almost forgotten about before reading about this robbery in the news. The bathrooms are big single stalls, right up front and to the right. I give em 4 flushes.

One of the biggest annoyances about shopping in SoHo, or anywhere in the city for that matter, is when you have to go to the bathroom. Usually, I’m at least one cup of coffee deep and that urge comes like clockwork. Too much information? Well, perhaps you’ve never read the book Everybody Poops, we all do it so let’s help each other out here. Since I used to work in SoHo and live so close by, I’ve nailed down plenty of spots to help you out if you’re in a jam. Who knows, it may just save your life. P.S. Click through for the hi-res map.

1. Starbucks, West Broadway & Houston

Expect a wait because every tourist sees the Starbucks logo and thinks, “Yes, bathroom.”

2. The Apple Store, Greene & Prince

Immaculate facilities, rarely a line and a pretty well kept secret. There’s one in the 14th street store too.

3. The Mercer Hotel, Mercer & Prince

Only downside here is that you have to go down into the restaurant and pretend you know where you’re going. But when you gotta go, you’ll do just about anything.

4. The Crosby St. Hotel, Crosby between Spring & Prince

Ooooh fancy!

5. Starbucks, Spring & Crosby

Like the one on West Boradway & Houston there is always a line and this one is usually a lot longer. On the upside, it moves faster because there are 2 restrooms.

6. Bloomingdale’s, Crosby between Broome & Spring

You can enter on Broadway too, but if you have to pee the last place on earth you want to be is in a crowd on Broadway in SoHo. Pop right downstairs to the men’s floor, never a wait and it’s air conditioner is heavenly—BONUS.

7. Le Pain Quotidien, Grand between Greene & Mercer

Sometimes a wait and I’ve gotten the stink-eye for being a freeloader, but it’s a nice option when in need.

8. Starbucks, Broadway between Grand & Broome

Line city and listening to a barista brew up coffee and stuff doesn’t help…better off crossing the street to Bloomingdale’s.

9. Saturdays, Crosby between Grand & Broome

Saturdays has some of the better coffee in SoHo and plenty you’d want to buy if you’re into that whole surfer thing. After answering nature’s call, ponder your life in the garden in the back.

10. SoHo Grand Hotel, West Broadway between Canal & Grand

You’ll have to fight your way through the tourists checking in but up the stairs, through the lobby and you’re in the promised land.

11. Opening Cermony, Howard between Broadway & Crosby

The day I found out Opening Cermony had a bathroom, the skies parted and the angels sang. They’re sort of hidden just before the staircase going to that lofted space.

12. The Mondrian Hotel, Crosby between Howard & Grand

If you feel like going to the bathroom in a Dr. Seuss meets people who have way more money than you enviornment, this is the place!

Of course, this is by no means an exhaustive list but most of the go-tos are here. Got something to add? Leave it in the comments.
