It Looked Familiar: Public Amenity Version

I was unsure about the title for today’s foray into the cartoon universe…it could have been “It Looked Familiar: City Government.” First, an announcement from our mayor: 17 new public bathrooms. Across all five boroughs.

Here’s street view looking east from Herald Square: That’s the McAlpin House on the right of Empire State and the Marbridge Building to its left. I have to say: I was not expecting to ever do one of these posts about an official NYC government announcement, even one with multiple toilet jokes about multiple toilets.
