These Upper East Side Bathrooms Are Open Despite The Pandemic

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Among the many small inconveniences imposed by the coronavirus pandemic has been the temporary closure of public facilities we once depended on for comfort — or a bathroom break.

Thankfully, some public restrooms remain open, and a new report by the Manhattan Borough President's office compiled more than 100 of them across the borough, including their hours and wheelchair accessibility.
