Why Baño exists

A bathroom, when you need one.

When @mattlovestech moved to Brooklyn, finding a public bathroom felt impossible. With a mother managing a medical condition, the urgency was personal — so he built Baño to help people like her find accessible restrooms in NYC, fast.

Today it’s walking times, real distances, and the kind of details only locals know — for everyone in the city.

The name

Bano or Baño?

Baño is Spanish for bathroom. The tilde gets lost in URLs and keyboards, so you’ll see it both ways — same place, same map.

In good company

The people we lean on.

Baño builds on data and advocacy from groups working on restroom access long before we showed up.
