Crabtree's Kittle House - Chappaqua, NY

Sunday, 6/22/08, 6:00 pm - Chappaqua, NY

The bathroom was what you would expect from a little inn. There was a powder area with some flowers on a small table. And the next room had two stalls, egg-shell colored and old-fashioned looking sinks. Everything was a bit worn - or worn in, depending on how you look at it.

Tap House - Tuckahoe, NY

Sunday, 6/15/08, 7:00 pm - Tuckahoe, NY

The restroom was aiming to be upscale and it works - but only if there's one person in the room. There are two fully-enclosed stalls, well kept. Black toilets.

But there's only one sink and a small mirror over it. People waiting to go in and out really had no where to wait. And if you get out of the stall, and someone's at the sink, you're not really sure where to go.

Morton's Steakhouse

Sunday, 2/10/08, 8 pm - White Plains, N.Y.

For the type of restaurant where details matter, there weren't may details in the bathroom. It was cold (temperature- and decor-wise) and sterile. There was no character at all - just black stalls. It was clean, but that's about all it had going for it. I thought there would be some amenities on the sink, but just Morton's paper hand towels. They could do much better.
