Bier International, 2099 Frederick Douglass Blvd at 113th St, Harlem
I am posting this after over a year of actually being here. But I remember pretty clearly that it was a really nice place, probably because my brain had one less year of tarter build up and things absorbed better. Swiss cheese brain aside, the place has floor to ceiling glass doors that were open at the time. A couple of guys were roasting a whole pig a big drum kettle on the sidewalk, which was quite a sight. The food was great. See the pics of the Croque Monsieur and Berliner Currywurst after the jump. The bar goes along the main wall, leading down to the bathroom. Your spirit guide to the toilet is a menacing looking wooden dude. Theres a couple of stalls in there and pretty large. I give it 4flushes.

Even before entering RR for a low key planned lunch - the stakes were high as I had great expectations of the Water Closet! For goodness sake, I mean, the Harlem hangout was getting rave reviews - the least they could have was a 5-star bathroom experience, too. After hanging out at the hut inspired bar; dining on appetizers, entrees and sweet treats - it was time for WC!
I was definitely NOT let down - what sold me: the fresh cut flowers on the sink and the chandelier!
Rating: 5 flushes!!!
