Several readers have asked about the luxury portable trailer — VIP to Go! — that has been near the Seventh Street entrance between Avenue A and Avenue B this past week.
Perhaps the city found some extra budget $$$ and is treating us to some upscale facilities while the field house is closed for renovation?
Haha! No!
The facilities remain here after the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival on Sunday. These were brought in for the use of the musicians backstage.
But, they remain... and are unlocked... as an intrepid EVG correspondent discovered... 
By the way, this model is the two-station Rolls Royce restroom trailer. Per the description: "Impresses everyone who sees it with its clean, simple white exterior that opens to a beautiful, warm wood interior and all the luxuries of home."
Anyway, enjoy it while you can.
It was in pretty sad shape last time I used it. It is slowly breaking down to fit in with the other ones.

Haha! I may never leave them.
ReplyDeleteWho is in charge of cleaning this? Inquiring minds want to know.
ReplyDeleteA west wind was blowing over the porta-poddies night before last creating a truly forbidding wall of stench at the 9th street entrance and spilling out over the sidewalk. An olfactory neon sign blinking Welcome To Thompkins Square for anyone considering an evening stroll through the park. Then a ranting bum on the benches almost made me nostalgic.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, many of us were keeping quiet about this so word wouldn't get out and people would trash it. For a few days, we had a clean restroom for the first time ever.
ReplyDeleteI've commented previously on this topic. I will NEVER utilize one of these monstrosities even during an emergency. I'd rather squat near the bushes like a dog.
