My go to in Manhattan is just to walk into the nearest big hotel like you’re a guest and find the restroom off the lobby.
That also works well in San Francisco.
Really? Should I call it as Pee Francisco?

#62This is my go-to app to find bathrooms: https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator
My local one doesn't allow customers in the bathroom unless they buy something. Are there ones that don't?
I went to a bar to use the bathroom and ordered an orange juice. The orange juice made me want to pee again in the NY train and had a nightmare on the way home. You can guess what happened lol

#64Neat. I've been holding onto a domain thronehunter.com, for 10 years now, after a stint at a startup in a downtown metro, where the office was a very small "loft" with 10+ people squeezed in. Myself and a few others fairly quickly had an aversion to using the lone bathroom in the loft for respectful reasons and instead began seeking out bathrooms at nearby hotels and elsewhere. We would often joke "hey I'm going to r…
It’s better to collaborate with hotels to scale this idea. I want to do Airbnb for bathroom to be honest.

#65I had this same exact idea years ago when I worked in NYC. Except the name was "New York Shitty" I think I wanted to make it primarily for the name.
There might be a competitor called “PooYork”.

Back in 2008 there were MizPee and Diaroogle which did the same. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/diaroogle-he...
The issue still remains for 13 years lol

This must be a nerd Manhattanite rite of passage, perhaps because the bathroom situation sucks there. My personal NYC bathroom database name idea was "WikiPeedia" or just "the 'Peedia"
I like the name haha.
My best bathroom place is Domino Park cuz they have okay bathroom, wifi and good view!!

I was going to say "NYPee" was a missed opportunity for this name. My go to map of bathrooms in NYC is this Google Map I found on Reddit a few months back: https://goo.gl/maps/oiKqZ5PTEQ3RAWeJA
Wow this is cool. Also it’s fun to take bathroom pictures lol
Re: Show HN: PeeYork, Bathroom finder app for NY
#69This seems very useful but shouldn't it be called "N Y Pee"?
I like PeeYork. The sound is cool.

#70When I was van dwelling around the US I was blown away at how inviting NYC was for van living. I was expecting it to be the hardest place in the US due to density, but it was one of the easiest. First spot I checked was a dead end street next to a warehouse in Williamsburg. Backing onto the Hudson. Beautiful Manhattan views. A park on one side, and another a block down with a bathroom. And immediately fell into a com…
I want to make an app for van life in the future.
