You touch the faucet then you touch the food. What’s wrong with washing food at home and then taking it with you? Or carrying a bottle of water to rinse off any veggies or fruit you buy when out.
It does however seem very odd to me that people who dumpster dive food are going to get their knickers in a twist about you washing veggies in a publicly used bathroom sink

What's the deal with eating everything outside? Why don't you take it home to wash and eat?

To me the weirdest thing is squatting outside on a sidewalk eating raw broccoli and deli turkey out of a package with your fingers.

It’s NYC, so my house is a 2 hour bus and train ride from social and work spaces.

Based on your user name and past posts, it appears that you want to be a squirrel, so why just not eat nuts outside and not have to worry about washing your food?

If you wanted to be a raccoon, then I could see how the food washing might be an issue.

Why would you think that? Just because he owns a rubberized squirrel mask and is looking for a full-body squirrel suit?

Wouldn't even need a rubber mask for that, just some smoky eye shadow applied around the eyes.

It is weird. Bathroom food is weird, bringing your own food to a BBQ is weird, dumpster dive freegan food is weird.

I think if this is how you want to be, you need to embrace it and wear it proudly, because there's going to be no explaining it that isn't weird.

I have a sense that the OP is homeless.

No, it's that where I live is very far from my job and the downtown city area where most people hang out. NYC is arranged on a hub and spoke model where the hub area (Manhattan) is easy to get around and walk to and fro, but the residential areas (like White Plains, Co Op City and Staten Island) are really far.

I can't afford to eat any of the foods that are sold in Manhattan especially since the dollar pizza joints are shutting down, and I'm on a diet so I can't eat pizza all the time. I couldn't find a grocery store near where we were hanging out either and restaurants my friends want to go to like Chilis are very expensive. I simply wonder why they don't go to McDonalds.
