Restroom users at the Boom Boom Room club on the 18th floor of the Standard Hotel gets a wondrous skyline views but much to the dismay of some, they can be seen from the street below.
The Standard Hotel gives a whole new meaning to the term “poop deck.”
Restroom users at the Boom Boom Room club on the 18th floor are completely visible from the street below as they do their business, thanks to 10-foot, floor-to-ceiling windows.
The toilet-sitters get wondrous skyline views. But the windows work both ways — much to the chagrin of relief-seekers after they’re told what could be seen from the street.
“The view outside is exciting, but the view inside is frightening,” said David Langdon, 55, from Melbourne, Australia. “I saw people waving at me! Sitting on the royal throne, you don’t expect a public viewing!”
You especially don’t expect a public viewing considering there are no warning signs alerting customers that they’re starring in their own reality PV show.
Tourists congregating on Washington and W. 14th Sts. got plenty of jaw-dropping views of patrons visiting the club, rooftop lounge and discotheque Le Bain on the same floor.
Belinda Langdon, who was visiting the club with her father, mistakenly thought the windows were reflective on the outside. But she realized the truth once she left the hotspot known for its steamy pool parties and celebrity sightings.
“It’s pretty creepy,” said the 24-year-old East Village resident. “The people taking pictures are pervy. You just hope nobody recognizes you on the street.”More at NY Daily News.
