Going, in style, in Times Square

I was thinking of taking my daughters to see a Broadway show as their Christmas gift. For my hurtin' wallet, that means an early ride to the Tickets booth opposite Times Square to purchase seats for that day's shows at half price. Too bad it won't be until after the New Year. I'll miss the potty party.

The new public restroom area set up in Times Square is apparently something to experience, so to speak. It's got a waiting room with white plush couches and flat-screen TVs, a kids' mini-dance floor and 20 stalls with lights overhead to alert those on line of an available, um, seat.

One thing that's strange -- the Charmin company, which built the john joint, has leased the Times Square space until 5 p.m. on Dec. 31. Now, I've never been tempted to go to Times Square on New Year's Eve, but doesn't that seem like a really, REALLY bad time to close public restrooms? There might be a stampede! Or is that a stam-pee-peed?
