Feeling Flush: Tad's Steaks


Tad's Steaks
152 W 34th St, New York, NY 10001-2102

Tad's Steaks is a place that borders between a fast food joint and a restaurant. I guess I should just call it a fast food place because you wait on a line and get your food on a plastic tray. With this in mind, it's no wonder that their bathroom wasn't the best bathroom to use. Still, it was disappointing to see that the women's room was a complete mess. The floor was wet and toilet paper and paper towels were all over the floor. I had two stalls to choose from and I obviously made the wrong choice because I ended up with a toilet that had bloody toilet paper unflushed from the last person's visit.
Not only did I have a disgusting surprise waiting for me in the toilet, but the trash can inside the stall was filled way over it's limit with paper. Then my next disappointment was with the stall door. There was no way I could secure the door because there was no hole for the lock to go in. Who's idea was it to make a door with a lock, and then not put a hole to hold the lock in place? I had to hold the door close the whole time because if anyone came in, all they had to do was push the door and it would open.

The best I can say is that at least the sink worked and had soap in the dispenser.

Feeling Flush

When you go out, you want to go to a place that has a nice design, is clean, and makes you feel comfortable. Well in my opinion, the restroom of a place is just as important, if not more, so it should be just as presentable as the rest of the place. Just by looking at a restroom, you can really tell a lot about a place. That's why I want to make it my duty to rate the restrooms I come across in the New Jersey/New York area. Ratings will be based on cleanliness, function, and design on a number scale from 1-10. So now I get to take my odd fascination and put it to work!
