The Worst Public Bathroom in New York
Plans to renovate the New York Public Library best not overlook the loo.
The New York Public Library's on-again, off-again plan for a billion-dollar renovation is back on, the New York Times reported earlier this month.
The plan calls for adding a circulating library into the iconic main building at 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, which is currently only for research. To finance the addition, the library will sell two major properties in its network: the Mid-Manhattan branch, catty-corner to the main building, and the Science, Industry and Business Library, a research building at 34th and Madison.
