As a 5 day a week commuter from Jersey City into Manhattan, I live and die via the NJ PATH. For those of you who live outside the NYC Metro area, it is the subway system that connects NJ to NYC.
Anyway, even if I drop my first load of the day prior to leaving in the morning, I still used to often find myself stuck on the PATH train, struggling to keep my second load in and cursing myself for not planning ahead. This has led to some unfortunate accidents in the past (more on this at a later date).
Thus, I devised two emergency pit stops that have completely alleviated any concern I used to have. For you PATH commuters, these two stops are very convenient, clean and can break up most commutes nicely. Here goes:
For 33rd Street Riders:
Manhattan Mall Food Court
Conveniently located within the immediate PATH area, the food court is a short 5 min walk away. Also, because there really aren’t any food options open anymore in the food court, the traffic in these restrooms is pretty modest. I must say, the stalls themselves are not immaculate, but given that if you are using them, you are in pretty dire need, are you really going to complain??
For World Trade Center Riders:
Hilton Millennium Hotel
Again, conveniently located right outside the PATH station, this necessary pit stop won’t completely alter your morning commute. Restrooms are located right inside the revolving doors. Using an adaption of the Restaurant/Bar Technique, you can easily fool the doorman into thinking that you are either a) a guest at the hotel or b) entering the lobby to wait to pick up a guest. There are two unisex restrooms available, and if I may say so, they are quite luxurious. It is after all a freakin’ Hilton that you are shitting in…
NOTE: If you are commuting in early hours (prior to 8a), the janitorial staff is usually finishing up their morning cleaning rounds, so sometimes they are closed off.
Keep these two emergency shitting posts in mind on your commute and you’ll never be caught in a compromising position…
