Zaytinya - Washington, DC

Saturday, 4/25/09, 9 pm - Chinatown

Offering 3 stalls in a spacious bathroom, the bright blue in each stall is offset by pale marble (marble looking?) tiles and white walls. O ne quirk (or perk) was the purse hook. At least I think it was a purse hook. It was a round hook directly above the toilet. I suppose it could have been a votive holder though that would be an odd place for it. If it is a purse hook, it makes it much more secure (though potentially hazardous should something fall out of your bag).

In the sink area
, there's a lot of what I think would be called "negative space" which I usually find wasteful, but I think it make the room feel airy. Three bowl sinks on wooden pedestals greet you with the actual fixtures coming out of the wall. The layout of the mirror allows a few people to be washing their hands and still have room for others to touch up in the mirror.


And another unusual hook situation - a few beside the sinks.
Sorry for the blurriness (you have to hold the blackberry really still). If you're looking for more details on Zaytinya, here you go.
