Lunch in the lav: Boston mulls restroom eateries

[Jazzy]

BOSTON – Boston parks officials are hoping the public can overcome the gross-out factor and get used to the thought of having a bite to eat in a former public restroom. The Boston Herald reported that the city's Parks and Recreation Commission was scheduled to go before state lawmakers on Tuesday to ask permission to lease two former public bathrooms on city land for possible use as eateries.



The Pink Palace, a 660-square-foot mausoleum-like structure on the Common, and the granite, 670-square-foot Duck House in the Back Bay Fens have not been used as bathrooms in decades.



They both need extensive renovations, but some city officials think they are prime spots for privately run, limited-service restaurants.

A 660-square-foot bathroom?

Thats pretty big for a bathroom.

As for a restaurant, the whole building would probably be the kitchen and people would have to come up to a window to order food... No where to sit down inside. But I suppose if it were in a park they could just sit on the grass or on a park bench.



I wouldn't care what it used to be. Renovations / remolding will probably give the building an all new interior anyways. Its not like people are going to be eating urine and feces.
