Finding a place to use the bathroom in several areas of the city can be a challenge.  One of the best things you can do is to find the nearest upscale hotel and walk in like you own the place and locate the lobby restroom.  They are often on the lower level or second level to make this more difficult.  There are obviously areas where this is not an option. In those neighborhoods - I find a pub - buy a beer or cocktail - place a napkin over it and head to the restroom.  What better excuse to have an adult beverage?  :teehee:

 

This pay toilet is obviously marketed to wealthy tourists who roam times square.  Of which there are many.
