Recipe – NYC

Recipe is my kind of restaurant.  Intimate space, a menu that I’d want to go through from beginning to end, and all the promise of a well designed, interesting bathroom experience.

Let’s get to it then.

Design – 9 Slide the door open, lock it behind you, and do your thing.  Easy enough, until its time to wash your hands.  What you may think is the faucet is actually just the soap holder.  If you are familiar with science labs then perhaps you don’t need to check the instructions on the wall – its an eye wash sink.  Too bad the water hardly dribbles out of the faucet.  I ended up essentially rubbing my hands against it to get the soap off.

Cleanliness – 8 I guess everyone here knows how to use the sink.

Layout – 7 Tiny and tight but not awkward.  The lab sink and mounted soap are used very well to make the most of a tiny space.

Extra Credit – 8 Maintaining the discreet Bunsen burner rustic aesthetic without being geeky about it.
