The Best Bathrooms in New York City

"Trust me, this is the best bathroom in midtown! On the left--exquisite marble! High ceilings. An' a flush, like a jet engine!"  -George Costanza 

Ah, sure there are hundreds of lists of restaurants, parks, attractions and more, but when was the list time someone took the time to focus on what was important: The place you most want to go when nature calls. 

Yelp.com has devoted an entire section to inside..ahem...streaming reports on the best spots to take care of business. See the link below, but here are the Top Ten facilities for a big flush in the Big Apple:

1. Bar 89
2. Inakaya 
3. Morimoto
4. Peep
5. Foley's - Not one to quote someone's personal review, but this was too good not to share: "The urinals are from the old Waldorf, before it moved. They're enormous, and you feel like you're in some sort of pod while you're peeing."

Huzzah! Another Big Adventure in the books. Yesterday was truly memorable and the general consensus is that it was one of the best Big Adventures yet. Thanks to everyone who came out - the ridiculous crew we roll with is what truly makes it an adventure. Feel free to post any photos from the day. See ya next Adventure...

Coney Island Fact!

To properly prepare you for the fun tomorrow, The Big Adventure presents some fascinating Coney Island facts: The hot dog was introduced to America in 1867 on Coney Island by German immigrant  Charles Feltman. With business booming, in 1915 Feltman hired a young man, Nathan Handwerker, as a roll slicer and part-time delivery boy. By 1916 Nathan opened his own competing hot dog stand. The rest as they say is History in a Bun. Okay, no one actually says that...

The Big Adventures reccomends

The Big Adventure definitely recommends that you check out Trivia, A.D. in New York City. These guys offer the finest in Bar Trivia throughout the city in Gramercy, Upper East Side, Murray Hill and beyond. The main appeal of Trivia A.D. is that they specialize in your favorite TV Shows Of Yore. Sex and The City Trivia? Done. Saved By the Bell Trivia? Oh, you're so excited. Seinfeld Trivia? We can personally attest that it is great and very tough.

The History of the Freakshow

Coney Island is a fascinating place from an American History point of view. One of the most historic and eyebrow-raising components is the Freak Show. 

Since waaaaay back in 1880 and over the years one could see Lionel the Lion-faced Man, Violetta the Limbless Woman and The Four-legged Woman which, oddly enough, was Phil's nickname when he played soccer in 8th grade. See this great article on Mental Floss (an freakishly great site in its own right): http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/12341
