A Loovre Museum in Miami

Enjoy an art show - or create your own exhibition in the privacy of the bathroom at Miami's Wood Tavern. Street art comes inside in the restroom at this laid back bar.

You'll be torn between spending more time looking around and getting out of a bar bathroom as fast as you can.

Racing to the Toilet in Baltimore

In Baltimore, it's not so much a bathroom that we feature, but multiple toilet bowls - racing down Chestnut Avenue. These are the Hampdenfest Toilet Races featuring "defecation-device-based vehicles" competing for glory. If you can't make it to the races each September, you can see some of the commode charriots at Falkenhan’s Hardware. Get the full story and more in 111 Places in Baltimore That You Must Not Miss.
