Downtown Manhattan paradegoers are swapping bathroom tips, tricks and even the entry codes to coveted restrooms near City Hall as an estimated one million revelers packed the streets for hours on Thursday.

“It was rough,” said John Rodriguez of Delaware, who told The Post he held it in for an hour and a half before finding a Starbucks with a public restroom.

“We need more public bathrooms and more businesses to open their doors and accommodate,” Rodriguez, 37, said.

“I came prepared not to use the bathroom,” said attendee Patricia, who refused to drink anything during the morning of the historic parade.

Yet another paradegoer, who declined to share his name, desperately waited for hours before finding relief at Nancy Whiskey pub on Broadway.

“I have to pee so bad, man,” he curtly told a reporter before scurrying off to the bathroom.
