"Case in point: the men's restroom inside the steak house at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, Calif., has an actual waterfall for a urinal. It's legendary. Somewhere there's a photograph of me in my wedding gown back in, like, 1847, standing by that waterfall. People go there just to see the restroom. That's a marketing tool.
Turns out that very restroom made this year's list of finalists for America's Best Restroom. The annual contest is put on by Cintas, a company that sells restroom supplies, among other products. Besides the men's room at the Madonna Inn, nominees included restrooms at the Tampa Airport (an airport!), the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan and the Ground Kontrol Classic Arcade in Portland, Ore.
However, these facilities were all runners up. This year's "King of Thrones," the head ahead of all others, is the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis. The ornate and fantastical decor inside the bathrooms at the old vaudeville theater is like Harry Potter meets Alice in Wonderland on acid. Sinks are operated by foot pedal (an excellent idea, in terms of hygiene), and there's a co-ed hand washing area...which might actually encourage more hand washing, especially among men."
Too bad that I don't live in Minneapolis or else I know I would be on my way now!
Sounds to me like you need to visit!
