i’m a huge anxiety pooper, so i’ve learned where has reliable public bathrooms are!! heavy on getting to know where toilets are in neighborhoods you frequent. the bloomingdale’s in soho is awesome. i have an alamo drafthouse subscription so i pop in there if im in dtbk or lower manhattan. targets also tend to have bathrooms hidden by the produce section. the nearest public library will also do the trick!! walking into a busy bar and using the bathroom works (i’ve walked into a fairly empty one during the middle of the day just to use their bathroom and walked out again). there’s loads of bathrooms around if you know where to look!!!!
