Penang’s funky wood decor goes all the way back into the bathroom, where high arched ceilings and solid cedar doors invite you. For a bathroom – especially one in this neighborhood – Penang’s is top notch.

The “Natick Collection,” as this upscale mall was recently renamed, is full of fancy stores, lovely carpeting and…the best bathrooms in Natick, no doubt. Check out the chandelier!

LOVE the Cyclorama’s bare-bones bare-ceiling’d bathrooms. Black toilets, odd shapes. The men’s is even better than the women’s (don’t ask me how I know that!)

There are a million reasons to visit the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, but the million and first is its lovely bathrooms with lovelier French phrases on the walls.

The restrooms at the Charles Hotel are fit for a queen! Open to the public (technically speaking) and the diners at all of the Hotel’s restaurants (including the outdoor bar), these fancy bathrooms have floor-to-ceiling doors and warm terrycloth hand towels. Cozy.

Cask’n Flagon, a popular bar with Sox fans, doesn’t disappoint its baseball-loving clientele…it offers them flatscreen TVs on the bathroom walls to ensure they don’t miss a second of the game.

What I like about Thornton’s is this…totally unassuming little bar and grill, great food, but get this – the little one-stall ladies’ room has free feminine products for its patrons. Just too sweet!

Bathrooms to Avoid
We’ve shown you the best of the best, but what about the bathrooms that make holding it in worthwhile? Here are 5:
Logan Airport. They’re not the worst in the world, or even in Boston, but they’re by far the worst airport bathrooms I’ve seen in the U.S. Guess they get cleaned about as often as flights leave on time.
Pho Thien Thien, Chinatown. The pho might be tasty, but seeing the bathroom might make you want to think twice about eating here. The lack of soap will make you wonder where employees wash their hands.
Pretty much all Borders Books locations, especially the one on School Street. Foul.
Charlie’s Kitchen, Cambridge. For such a great bar, Charlie’s sure has disappointing toilets! I love this place, but I’d almost rather walk back to my office to pee than go in here again.
The Middle East, Cambridge. It’s a popular live-music club, so I shouldn’t have really gone in there expecting clean bathrooms, but what I saw was even worse than I could have imagined. Bummer.
That’s pretty gross.
Just toilettin' around town...
