Potty Parity Arrives

The first establishment covered by New York City’s “potty parity” law has opened, but men still seem to have the advantage:

Wolfgang’s Steakhouse, a 200-seat eatery at 407 Greenwich St., will be the first new establishment to open and be forced to comply with the new legislation. The result is that the eatery will have four stalls in the ladies room and two stalls and three urinals for the men.

The law, designed to solve the age-old problem of overcrowded ladies’ facilities, covers new or renovated public spaces, including stadiums, theaters, dance halls, convention centers and drinking establishments.

It says that for every sit-down toilet in a men’s room, there have to be two for the ladies.

So male patrons at Wolfgang’s bathrooms will have five places to relieve themselves versus four for women . . . well-written legislation!
