Best Public bathrooms in United States

Right at Bryan park; there were two organized lines in front of a small build with a guard on the main door. This place is counted as one of the best restrooms in USA! The guard was there to organize when and who goes in, making sure everything inside the restroom is organized. Music is running, fresh flowers, nice photo frames on walls and a smart toilet. the building itself has a special design!

two stalls. Only used one. Stall was very clean. Great public restroom.

The nicest, best maintained public restroom I have come across in NYC. There are attendants on hand to ensure the restroom is clean and lines remain orderly. I had to wait in line for a while. However, it was worth the wait.

In a humble restroom, where moments unwind,
A man finds solace, seeking peace of mind.
Within the tiled walls, a silent retreat,
Where nature's call meets a tranquil seat.

He steps inside, a sanctuary found,
Where privacy echoes without a sound.
With whispered relief, he takes his place,
A moment to pause, in a private embrace.

In this quiet chamber, time slows its pace,
As thoughts and worries find their brief erase.
He contemplates life, his mind's gentle flow,
A respite granted from the world's ebb and woe.

Within these four walls, a humble throne,
He finds a moment to be alone.
A pause in his journey, a sacred break,
A chance to reflect, an interlude to take.

For even in mundane tasks we undertake,
There's beauty hidden, if time we could make,
To cherish the stillness, the gentle reprieve,
As the man finds solace, in this space he perceives.

So, let us honor these moments of pause,
In sanctuaries small, where silence draws,
For in life's journey, both big and small,
The bathroom's realm is a sacred stall.

Door is heavy may not lock.

As far as public restrooms go, this is about the best it gets. Surprisingly nice, and it even has classical music playing? Definitely the place to stop if you have the choice. The only downside is that there may be a lengthy line.

Thank you RIOC

Nice place to relax and they always have something to do and have fun seasonal activities

Frequency are drunks & drug addiction, especially given that the methadone clinic is right across the street. Occasionally, community outreach events are held in this park, which are nice.

Beautiful Park good place to relax

Clean toilet, wash sink faucet is upside down

5 stars. Continually went out of my way to use these toilets.

Very well maintained, the "keepers of the line" were outstanding and efficient.

Classic musical so you can relieve your ears as well as your bladder.

And as an added bonus Bryant Park, where they are located, is an awesome place to sit and chill. Hell, you can't even smell any weed as it's no smoking.

I recommend as a must see destination for NYC.

Too many druggies hanging out for me but very unavoidable if relying on public transportation.

If you're looking for a public bathroom that's a cut above the rest, the Bryant Park Bathrooms are a must-visit in New York City. This Beaux-Arts building boasts a luxurious restroom experience that's truly unmatched.

Located in a city where finding a public restroom can be a challenge, the Bryant Park Bathrooms are a true oasis in the desert. Don't expect grimy walls or dirty toilets here - the facilities are upscale and impressive, with fresh flowers, artwork, and classical music setting the scene.

Despite the limited number of stalls (just two for men and three for women), the Bryant Park Bathrooms are a popular destination for park-goers and pedestrians alike. The fixtures are high-end and the attention to detail is impressive, with bathroom attendants on hand to assist with your needs.

Funded by private donors, the roughly $300,000 renovation in 2017 transformed the restrooms into a truly special space. The fixtures are the same luxury brand used at the MoMA, and large frosted glass windows let in plenty of natural light.

It's clear that the donors weren't flushing funds down the toilet, as the Bryant Park Bathrooms have become a must-visit destination for anyone in need of a quick bathroom break. However, be prepared for long lines during peak hours.

Overall, the Bryant Park Bathrooms offer a welcome respite for anyone looking for an upscale restroom experience in New York City. With their elegant design and attention to detail, they prove that even public facilities can be transformed into something truly special.

Great statute, but not the park to hang out in or go near.

Here have a free restroom, opens for anyone.

Decent, conveniently located

Clean enough considering the numbers of people using the facilities however sadly only 1 toilet in use

10/10 experience, a life changing experience and I will say they did put a lot of work into this masterpiece. MUST TRY AGAIN!!

Not the prettiest but felt very clean and very well maintained. If I were to compare my experience and that of the cat I saw pooping nearby, I think mine was better!

Free public restrooms in the middle of city. Not perfectly clean, but when considered how busy this place is, they are clean.

Pleasantly surprised that it's very clean

Historische Toilette..! 😅😉

Pretty good all things considered for a free public bathroom! You have to go down two floors to get to it so it's a bit hard to find.

Decent restrooms. Good job, NYC!

Don't listen to the cycle rickshaw chumps. This restroom is open and doesn't have rush on Saturday at 7 pm on a summer day.

you found me :)

We stumbled on this public restroom while heading for the New York Public Library — it’s just around the corner. Imagine my surprise when I saw both a male and a female uniformed attendant at the door. It turns out that the building is property of the city but an anonymous donor funds the salaries for the attendants plus the nicely designed interior and fresh flowers! What a delightful thing someone has done. Only in New York.

Parks close the bathroom to early before the time it suppose to be

Los baños estaban limpios , los dejan abiertos asta tarde cuando hay jugadores de soccer 🥅 .

Great

almost poopooed my pants, these toilets were sent by the american god for me, even worth the tram ticket if you are close. Paper, clean toilet, soap, thank you for your service god of toilets

Not enough equipment to enjoy recreation in the park.Good that you can catch several buses there there, should be more seats by the bus stops for all the people that catch a bus there regularly.Its right in the West Brighton area.They do have a 24 hour checks cashing, Key food, Domino's,a 24 hour car service base, grocery store and other goods all within this area.

Super clean restrooms

QUEENSNYCOVID19/20

Pleace clean

I was in Central Park running with friends one morning and I had to use the bathroom. I saw a sign for this bathroom as we were running the outer loop on the west side and was able to follow a few other signs straight to this bathroom.

There was a homeless man standing outside the building with his things. I decided to be brave and just kept running past him into the women’s side. The bathroom was relatively clean. I was able to use the bathroom quickly and run back to the outer loop easily to catch up with my friends. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t see the sign for this bathroom.

-DO NOT TRUST GOOGLE MAPS INFORMATION-
*Here are the facts*

• LOCATED IN: Central Park, New York, NY, USA
• OPENING DATE: June 26, 1926.

*(Park staff start work at 7am. They need time to clean and check the playground and it's equipment for safety. So, 7:30-8am it the realistic opening time)

Pleasant most days. Can't wait for the fountain to be fixed. Lots of community events are held here. Be careful early mornings and late night. Tends to be a melting pot for addicts waiting for the local methadone clinic to open.

The park has a rough history, but the future can improve. Get involved with creating it's future.

Clean and unisex. Toilets are steel prison toilets. No seat paper.

It was OK, playground was closed because of the snow.
Bathroom was like any other public restroom. Bunch of guys just standing in there by the sink just chilling which was very awkward.

Great public bathroom. I would imagine it is the closet public restroom to the Roosevelt Island tram. It is just a short ~10 minute walk south from the tram along the river. The restroom is clean and warm and has a nice place to wash your hands. Nicer and has more stalls than going to Starbucks.

Best bathrooms on the island. Clean and free.

Its locked

Wow, wasn’t expecting such a clean bathroom!
Oh, you know how it is; you’re out walking your mother’s evil dog, or a baby or whatever, and you get that old tingling sensation (its time to go!) but maybe you’re not wearing a diaper today? I guess it’s the old public restroom again...
but this one is great! No chocolate fountain, but good, as far as bathrooms in public go. Better than starbucks, right?! Anyone with me? I don’t know, maybe it’s not so great, maybe it was just that day...

It's really good to have restrooms in the Central park near playground.
But we have found this one to be closed few times during the day that was a surprise.

Clean and operational bathroom. Friendly staff

This is a tiny but we'll kept park you would mostly ignore if you drive or walk along the area. But it's an important one. The black guy whose death has helped ignited Black Lives Matter was felled right outside of this park. You see a lot of regular folks here, which contrast strongly from what you see in most parts of Staten Island.

One of Central Parks greatest locations. Starbucks or beer needs to get out. No line at 4PM on Saturday for men's and small line for women's.
