Tourist and locals alike may be interested in this tiny map: a wallet-sized guide of over 250 public toilet locations in Manhattan. Creator Tommy Mintz says, "The New York City Public Toilet Map was unveiled on Uncle Bob's Variety Show at the Jewish Museum as part of the Off the Wall: Artists at work. After the presentation, a mob gathered at the edge of the stage to buy copies of the map!" The NY Times reports that at age 21, Mintz "received a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, a condition that is caused by inflammation and sores in the lining of the rectum and colon, and causes frequent diarrhea." So the map is a combination of art and necessity for him.
It's only $2.50 (including shipping) and you can buy it on Etsy; it would be a wise purchase for those getting around on bike. Of course, those with more advanced technology can access a similar map on their phone.
