Reply to comment by SolitaryMarmot in Gustavo Dudamel, Star Maestro, to Leave L.A. for New York Philharmonic by StrngBrew

Fair enough, as someone who regularly has to schlep to Lincoln Center from Queens, it is a pain in the ass that you can't get there without transferring no matter what.

But also, hanging out in the lobby gives you the infinite amusement of seeing old people confused by a gender neutral bathroom.

I fucking love those bathrooms so much. I went to see the Brahms German Requiem like in Feb 2020, it was my last concert before the world went to shit (because even I was too scared to go to the Allman Bros thing at MSG I had tickets for like March 11th or something.) Anyway during early lock down I tried to write a whole requiem for gendered bathrooms being both inspired by what I thought was the last concert I will ever see and being stoned all the time. It ended up more of a power chord punk song.

BUT you should totally come to Forest Hills Stadium this summer if you haven't yet because it's the only other venue I know with non gendered bathrooms. Yes there is a urinal bank...but it's not gendered. Bring your she wee if you want. And all the stalls are unisex. That shit moves sooooo fast and its very reminiscent of the home I grew up in.

Thank you for brightening my day by mentioning the non gendered bathrooms.

Where are the gender neutral bathrooms? When I was up in the second tier last month they had mens/womens rooms up there. Is it different in the lobby?

It's in the lobby, before you enter, if you walk around behind the big screen there's a bathroom over there.

Interesting I wonder why they went for unisex in the lobby but not upstairs. Especially since the old lobby had separate sex bathrooms.

That is a good question, I wonder if it is just one of practicality, you don't need as many stalls in the lobby as you might upstairs.
