The chic neighborhood south of Houston Street and east of Crosby has given the name SoHo to hairstyles, beauty productsrestaurants, even other neighborhoods

It now has the honor of sharing that sobriquet with a toilet.

The portable toilet manufacturer Callahead is introducing a new luxury model for special events called "The Soho."

"Upon first entering the fittingly named Soho luxury restroom trailer, it's safe to assume that guests will go through a state of confusion. While they thought they were entering a portable restroom, they now appear to be in a high-end hotel restroom straight out of Soho, New York," the company press release states.

The two-bathroom trailer features wood flooring, stainless steel sinks, and a surround-sound music system "to further emulate the feel of a swank restroom from a boutique in Soho," the release says.

(Those boutiques certainly don't tout their bathrooms to customers in quite the same way. Points to anyone who can recall the last time they were even allowed to use one.)

The Soho doesn't skimp on the finer details either: "stunning floral arrangements, elegant custom artwork, and designer accessories," as the release puts it. And let's not forget the stocked candy dish.

In the Soho, you can almost forget you have the same animal urges as New Yorkers across all neighborhoods and boroughs — until you smell the hospital-grade disinfectants used to clean it.
