Delaney's Tap Room

New Haven, CT

submitted by Tony.

"So, I went into the bathroom at Delaney's and this dude was taking a picture of himself pissing so went to walk past him and he explained how there was a Yankees hat in the urinal and he was pissing on it. After he was done I figured I'd take a picture of the hat and when I went to take it he jumped in the photo to show me his tattoo. It was a very weird encounter. When I was using it though I couldn't help from taking a photo too. He had left the bathroom."

The Anchor

New Haven, CT

Apparently, they've been having problems with people using the garbage can as a seat, and how could you blame them? It's such a lovely place to stop and have a sit down with some friends and take on some barely-legible men's room scrawl. Also, I like how the toilet paper holder is used to hold the new roll, which is then used as a shelf for the autonomous roll in use...sounds like the makings of a Jeff Foxworthy "You know you're a redneck if..." bit.

Archie Moore's

Every time I'm here I wonder what the heck this munchkin-sized door is for. Where does it go? Why is it next to a toilet? What if someone, maybe a munchkin, comes through while I'm crapping?

Wood-n-Tap

All Over, CT
submitted by Tony.
Screens in bathrooms are so hot right now. Come, catch a game or Oprah while you relieve yourself. Of course, this screen seems a little ill-positioned for the only time you'll really need it; when you're sitting on that can. But thanks to the mirror, you can watch yourself taking a crap, watching yourself watch television...backwards.

Pacifico

New Haven, CT

This place has good mojitos, and a stiff margarita. Now tell me how many of those do think it took for me to go searching for the men's room, find this stud muffin, and decide that I must've found what I was looking for? In all honesty, I was a little confused because it made sense that this could also be the ladies room:

Inside there were beautiful rays of sunshine illuminating a not so beautiful sight. There is nothing like getting a good buzz on, forgetting what time it is, and walking into the pisser to find out that it's still broad daylight and you may have a drinking problem.

Eli Canon's

Middletown, CT.

There is a cyclical phenomenon at work here. Eli's is a great place to drink, with loads of beer on tap and a shit-ton of riff raff lining the walls. The vibe, the crowd, the soul of the place and the beer list make me want to get good and drunk...which I do. Naturally, I go to pee. Inside the heavily trafficked black space is a toilet, a urinal and several cleverly placed bits of graffiti, all advertisements for their upcoming drinking events; beer tastings, pig roasts, etc. Now I'm convinced and I want to drink some more here, will do. It can go on like this for a while. On my first visit to the bathrooms I said hello and snapped one of this charming creature hovering over the john. The second time around there was a uniformed cop hanging in the very same place. I didn't bother to say hello or snap his photo, though I'm sure it would've made a much better story.



Miya's Sushi

New Haven, CT.

Miya's is a tasty little place where the sushi is not particularly Japanese but the bathroom decor is. Exotic colors and plants amuse the eye, Japanese movie posters make me feel cooler than I really am. I locked myself in the one-shitter and felt the tiniest bit of peace; a place removed from the boisterous conversations of a packed-in Yalie crowd, all stretching for intellectual conversational superiority. Half way through my number one, there is a knock at the door. I hurry it up, snap a couple shots and open the door to greet the lanky, brown-blazered, young thinker on his way in.

Congratulations Steve!

Due to his enthusiasm and clearly demonstrated commitment to the Shitter, Steve has been promoted to Official West Coast Correspondent. This doesn't really mean much, except a lot of clout around here and now, whenever I attribute his work his name will be followed by "WCC." So, kind of a big deal.
Here's two recent Steves; a pair of homeboys and our first Live One...another big occasion.
