Teddy - Dupont

Friday, 7/12/13, 8:30 pm 

I'd been waiting for this place to open, expecting the decor to really land the "modern rough rider" theme. It's a bit more modern than I expected, but the women's bathroom is quite country.

There are three full door stalls, which I would normally like, but the doors didn't have an "occupied" indicator and the lock on the door is a simple pin lock. Not much insurance against an accidental walk in. Additionally, the stall are quite deep, meaning if that door swings open, you won't be able to quickly close it. 

Each stall has a quote above the magic eye toilet. The stall I chose had one from Amelia Earhart.

Then by the sinks stood more quotes, but not all were from women of Teddy's time. In fact one was from Eleanor Roosevelt which seemed a rather glaring
anachronism. Also, the faucets seemed really out of place. I think they could have gone much more period like, especially since they're not automatic. 


I will say it was quite a large bathroom for three stands. But I guess given the size of the restaurant, I shouldn't have been surprised.

Here's more on Teddy
