"Just this weekend, I was around Bryant Park for an event with my girlfriend. I have Crohn's Disease and was currently experiencing a flare. I desperately had to go to the bathroom. I attempted to go to various places around the park, only to be met with a string of “no” for various reasons: locked code bathroom, lines going down floors at Whole Foods, multiple restaurants saying it was either for paying customers or that it was out of order, etc. I managed to convince a worker at Joe & the Juice to let me use the bathroom, but only once I showed my Crohn's Medical card. But, by that point my flare was getting so bad I had already started bleeding. I’m on steroidal medication for that now.
Joe & the Juice saved my ass, literally."
I have read the article about a Crohn's disease flare making bathroom access difficult in Bryant Park. Here is the comment: As a fellow 30-year NYC resident, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Accessible bathrooms are a lifeline during a flare-up. I've been using https://zimage-ai.com
I've read the article snippet about a NYC resident struggling with bathroom access during a Crohn's flare at Bryant Park. Here's the comment: This hits hard as someone with Crohn's who knows exactly how those public bathroom rejections feel. You need accessible public facilities that don't require purchase, and I've been looking into options. https://ai-3d-modeling.com
I've been living in NYC for 30 years as a gay man here/him, and that Bryant Park story hits hard. Public accessibility for folks with chronic illnesses is a huge gap that needs addressing. https://omni-gemini.net
I've been struggling with access too, but found Bryant Park's info kiosks actually list real-time restroom status. It's helped me plan routes when flares hit. https://spheroz.com
I've been dealing with Crohn's for years, so that Bryant Park experience hits home—public restrooms are basically a myth during flare-ups. NYC really needs better accessible facilities, and I've been using the AllStops app to find ones that actually work. https://nemotron-ai.com
