Real New Yorkers Don't Pay to Pee

Here's a New York tip for you! Forget paying for drinks you don't want, just so you can use the filthy restroom at some dive bar. Everybody knows that when a real New Yorker needs to go, there's only one thing they need: Streeteasy.com.

Streeteasy is the fastest way to find a free bathroom in your immediate area. The way it works is, landlords will host something called an "open house." These events can last anywhere between 15-minutes and several hours, and the brokers that host them have very little incentive to cause a scene. So, just make sure to never, ever, reach out for permission before you show up! Once you're there, all you need to do is take a lap around the apartment, ask someone in charge for an application, and then you can relieve yourself for as long, and as thoroughly, as you'd like.

The best part is, Streeteasy allows you to specify the exact kind of apartment whose bathroom you'd like to piss or shit in! Wanna skip the stairs and smoke a cigarette after? Just search for units with an elevator and outdoor space. Do you have someone's dog or bird with you? Just include "pet-friendly" in your search criteria!

My perfect New York day? Wake up late, drink some milk, eat some leftover sushi, then grab a couple of dollar-coffees from the cart and see if Rite Aid is looking to get rid of any fruit. Then, I jump onto Streeteasy for the nearest bathroom and maybe a shower and probably a little nap until the cops wake me up. Finally, I take a free ride downtown where I fill out some paperwork and get to place a call to, literally, whoever I want! I'm like Ed Koch had a baby with Spike Lee and then stopped paying his rent. New York baaaaaaby!
