Public Restrooms
Located at the mid-block 42nd Street crossing behind the NYPL, this historic structure houses our renowned public bathroom. Touchless flushing, changing table, classical music, and fresh flowers make this restroom a favorite with New Yorkers. Called by a former Parks Commissioner "the gold standard for park comfort stations," we strive to maintain our restroom as the most luxurious public facility you'll ever use!
Located near Le Carrousel, our 40th Street facility is staffed and cleaned throughout the day. The 40th Street bathroom features an accessible restroom and changing table.
