Workers yesterday removed the three porta-potties in Tompkins Square Park and replaced them with two similar (and cleaner) models.
The triplex (only open during the day as long as someone has a key) arrived on April 1, providing the first non-open-air makeshift toilet opp since the city carted off the previous commodes on Jan. 9.
Perhaps the Parks Department plans on switching out the toilets every month as Tompkins is getting busier with the arrival of warm weather. The first portaloos were battered from heavy use (and/or vandalism). At the time, sources told us that the previous port-o-johns were constantly trashed and not really the most fun things to use. So, the thinking was, Why replace them with more only to meet the same fate?
As previously reported, the restrooms in the Tompkins Square Park field house are now closed as part of an 18-month renovation that's nearing the one-year mark.

I spotted a truck with new porta-potties pulling into TSP around 7:00am this morning, into the 9th and A entrance.
The stench of these during the summer isn't pretty. Just saying.
I live for these updates.
I like to use all three. I go in one and then I stop in the middle and go to next one and then quickly use the last one to finish Their feelings get hurt if you don't choose them.
gonna need many more for the dance parade in two weeks
