Disused lavatories in Boston to be turned into cafes!
By ANITuesday, June 8, 2010
BOSTON - American foodies may soon have the ‘privilege’ of eating in a loo - Boston is converting two former public toilets into upscale al-fresco eateries.
The Boston Parks and Recreation Commission is set to ask legislators to lease long term the “Pink Palace,” a gothic-looking former comfort station near the tennis courts on Boston Common, and the “Duck House,” a rodent-dwelling lavatory on the Muddy River in the Back Bay Fens that’s been shuttered for 24 years.
“It could be a real conversation piece,” the Boston Herald quoted Cathy Chang of Arlington, as saying.
Bill Clark of Newport, R.I., said: “It hasn’t been a toilet for a long time. I wouldn’t have a problem with it. They could have two sides to the restaurant - men and women - and a lot of railings.” (ANI)
