Lulu & Me Gastrobar:Manhattan-9/27/12-20:21

This sign has nothing to do with the rest of the look of the restaurant or the food- which is a mixture of small and large dishes from many cuisines- but it certainly is appealing.

Once I focused on one of the accent tiles that dot the walls of this restroom, I realized how much they look like peebles in the water. They are not three dimensional even though they look like it here.

Serene, yes?I adore this restaurant. It is small,friendly and has amazing imaginative Italian food.Can be hard to get into, but so worth it.

Pain Quotidien:Manhattan-9/27/12- 9:27

I have eaten here many times, but never used the restroom until today.Really find these illustrative signs charming.

Beacon Theater:Manhattan-9/26/12-

I figured why show the rather ordinary restroom at the theater when I could give you a glimpse of the starts of the concert I was attending here. In case you cannot tell, they are David Byrne and St. Vincent. Quite a show and quite a venue. If you have never been, I would look up their schedule and find something to see there soon.

Citrus:Manhattan-9/26/12- 19:55

Pleasant self-promotion here. Pleasant asian/latin fusion cuisine as well.

This is not a private bathroom, but rather one in a townhouse that serves as an art gallery. The current exhibit is by Lucie Fontaine who is not a real person, but a collaboration between two artists. This sink collection is composed and the "Employees Must Wash Their Hands" sign, which is pictured here and appears to be in Japanese, is actually a piece of art. Go figure!

Hard to tell, but tis shelf is made of metal...I thought maybe zinc, nbut looking at this shot, it seems to have too much color for that. When I exited, I noticed that the floor tiles seemed to be made of the same material. By the way, lovely Italian food, lightly prepared and great decaf cappuccino.

Man...I barely wash my hands in this water. Does anyone really think someone might DRINK it?
