The lowdown on restrooms you'll be visiting

It's official. Eating Season has officially arrived.

Need to Go?Need to Go?And with it an endless array of restaurants worth visiting. If these hot spots (and their respective restrooms) aren't on your itinerary, get out your roadmaps and start making plans.

 

The Safe House

The Safe HouseThe bathroom is small, but large enough to feature a giant poster of Burt Reynolds at his sexiest. He's naked, of course, except for a metal heart over his favorite body parts. Give into curiosity and you'll set an alarm off that's heard throughout the restaurant.

When you're finished your business, slip into the dark room beside the stall and watch people in the restaurant walk by the one-way glass. If they stop to check for spinach in their teeth or fix a stray hair, flip the light on and wave.

The Safe House
779 North Front St
Milwaukee, WI
53202
Phone: 414-2712-007

  

Madonna Inn

In Umberto Eco's "Travels in Hyperreality," you'll find this description of the inn: "Let's say that Albert Speer while leafing through a book on Gaudi, swallowed an overgenerous dose of LSD and began to build a nuptial catacomb for Liza Minnelli."

And while the inn is all that is kitschy and more, tourists still flock to see the men's urinal - a rock waterfall.

In 2007, The Swirling Eddies immortalized the inn with their song, "The Midget, the Speck and Molecule," which describes the "urinal that looks just like a waterfall."

Madonna Inn

PaperMoon Diner

Often described as quirky and disturbed, this trendy diner in Baltimore has more than good food on the menu. Remember the 80s movie, "Mannequin," with Kim Cattrall? What about "Toy Story" with beheaded dolls and kamikaze Barbies? It's the atmosphere, baby.

If you venture to the restroom here, prepare to be ogled by a life-sized naked mannequin in the restroom.

PaperMoon Diner
227 West 29th Street
Baltimore, MD

Phone: 410-889-4444

  • On Surviving a Hurricane While Traveling, Lisa S. said "Growing up in good ole NC, I have survived my share of storms. Actually, where I sit currently (on a barrier island) has been under water many times. Staying on an island is scary. We leave if it is over a CAT 1. The most important thing for us is to fill our gas tanks at the first inkling that there may be a storm. Water, medicines, non perishable food, they're all really important. Honestly, if it is a big storm, alcohol later serves as pay for work. We stock up on EVERYTHING. We start eating out of the freezer days before (like we did tonight, getting ready for Earl). You don't want much to go bad. Then we tie up all the trash cans, secure grills, and hold on for dear life :)"

  • On American Tourist Kidnappings on the Rise in Mexico, Roger said "Better not to drive if you can travel by bus. Buses are not apt to be targets like cars with US plates that also can be stolen. The buses in Mexico are very comfortable like flying in a plane they often have movies and it is safer.Plan your trip and don't travel alone especially if you are female.Women traveling alone are a target Good luck and stay alert."
