Where to pee in D.C.: a guide for Inauguration Day

by Jamie Rhein (RSS feed) on Dec 17th 2008 at 10:30AM

You've been there. You're in the middle of a day of site-seeing and you have to go. As in, RIGHT NOW! Unfortunately, you're hard pressed to find a public restroom. With the crowds expected to gather in Washington, D.C. for Inauguration Day, finding a toilet when nature calls could be a problem.

Thinking ahead, Jennifer Lynn has come up with an insiders guide for where to pee in D.C. Her down-loadable brochure is called "Where To Pee in DC: The Insider's Guide on Where to Go" and is for sale on E-Bay.

Jaunted did a write up of this useful gem and highlighted a few of Lynn's suggestions.

For example, head to the east wing of the National Gallery of Art. The advantage of Lynn's method, I think, is not only will you find relief, you'll find culture as well. Although, you might be in a hurry when you pass by some of the artwork on your way to the john, take time to browse on your way out.

Here's the link to the down-loadable book. It costs $2.50. If you are going to D.C. for the Inauguration, this might be the best money you've spent. According to the statistics, there is one toilet for every 6,849 people.

Hilarious! As a former DC resident, I headed to the National Gallery of Art when I was near The Mall and needed a bathroom.

Hey, thanks for the mention :)

PS-I'm also sending out free Inauguration updates a few days before the big day to everyone who orders a guide since things are still changing day by day in terms of what will and won't be open.

Thanks!
