Saturday, 6/26/10, 9 pm - Chinatown
I talked about not judging the restrooms of restaurants in hotels, mostly because they're out of the control of the restaurants. For the few restaurants I've been to in museums, this has also held true. Thankfully that was
n't the case for Zola, which is a part of the Spy Museum, offering promise for the bathroom. And I wasn't disappointed. The stalls were completely private with a frosted porthole. The sleek chrome was offset by lights that ran the height of the wall. I don't remember a purse hook, which is one thing that would bother me.
Of course the modern sinks with a streamlined faucet were a nice touch. There was also a full length mirror on the way out - always helpful and keeps the sink area from getting overcrowded.
Here's more on Zola.

For a special occasion, I visited Palena, a classic restaurant with a traditional decor. But the detail in the bathroom was a bit odd. The two stalls were white with molding and delicate drawings all over. I think the hand paintings were supposed to look detailed but to me it was just a little juvenile.
The details at the sink definitely said quaint country. It was definitely a unique take. Here's more on Palena.

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and finally got the chance. We ate outside so the only restroom I had the chance to see was the one on the first floor by the bar. It was just a single stall but they tried to do what they could with the little space. It was interesting to see the double toilet roll holder on the wall I don't think I've seen that too often.
The textured wall was a nice touch and while I can't remember exactly what the trash can looked like, I remember thinking it was quite out of place. Here's more on Cafe Atlantico.

This modern pizzeria had a sleek bathroom to match. Two black stalls are set off by whi
te tiles. The square sink had clean lines and a simple mirror. It was clean and well kept.
Here's more about Racks, but I have to put out a warning about the website - they think the best way to advertise the restaurant is having girls in bustiers putting pizza in brick ovens. So maybe it's not as tasteful of a place as I thought.
