Website Points Pee Pee Dancers in the Right Direction

2008_08_toilet.jpgToday's Post gives a heads up about the site Diaroogle, the place to visit if you're in Manhattan and in need of a public restroom. What started as a gag project for developers Evan Cooney and Kevin Burg has turned into an extensive resource for desperate New Yorkers who can download it as an application for their mobile devices. What makes the site stand out as something more than just a Google Map locator is that each bathroom is rated and comes with specific instructions about the location, such as directions to the exact spot where a restroom is inside a hotel lobby or a warning about what a hassle the required bag check at B&H Camera can be. You also can't help but respect a site that refuses to list the self-cleaning toilet in Madison Square Park because of its hefty twenty-five cent charge.

    We must do whatever we can to stop this website (diaroogle.com). Those of us in the know will be VERY UPSET if any of the locations listed on their site somehow institute barriers to (our) free and unimpeded bathroom access.

    I would be devastated if the Mariott prevented me from visiting my favorite stall the next time I'm stuck in Midtown after, say, a questionable Thai lunch.

    I'm just saying . . .

    Dam..I should've came up with this website! I'm like George Costanza when it comes to locating restrooms in NYC...haha.

    Hey, the idea of the quarter is to keep the riff-raff out.
