The Only Worthwhile Travel Guide

Frommer’s finally writes something useful — “Where to Stop Where to Go,” a guide to the city’s bathrooms sponsored by a pharmaceutical company marketing medication for overactive bladders. The Daily News notes the achievement:

Those with an urgent need for a rest room now have a guide for where to go when they need to go – thanks to seasoned travel writer Arthur Frommer, who has felt your pain.

“I experienced firsthand what traveling with an overactive bladder is like – needing to ask strangers about locating a rest room or trying to persuade a salesperson to give me access to those facilities,” Frommer writes in the 75-page travel-tip book “Where to Stop & Where to Go.”

Natives and tourists alike will appreciate the section devoted to New York’s sometimes hard-to-find public powder rooms.
