Visitors using the restrooms on the 18th floor of an exclusive New York hotel may get stunning views of the city below through floor-to-ceiling windows - but unfortunately people on the street can see them too. It is the 10-foot windows lining the walls that make bathroom users at the Boom Boom Room club at the swanky Standard Hotel in Manhattan are entirely visible to people on the street, the Daily Mail reported. The windows are visible to tourists visiting the High Line park, a public area which is built on an historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan's Meatpacking District. Rows of bathrooms line the walls of the building with users sitting close enough to the windows for passersby to see them sitting and relieving themselves. But some patrons said they do not care about their very public display, with one man even waving to people below as he used the toilet. (Read by Rosie Tuck.
