New Yorkers: Rent A Backyard In The Lower East Side
They’re in luck! Beginning next week, New Yorkers can rent their very own backyard on the Lower East Side (145 Ludlow Street, to be exact). Launched by the Participation Agency, Timeshare Backyard a 3,000-square-foot vacant lot replete with Florida grass and a white picket fence can be all yours for $50/hour. What do you get? Use of the site as well as the option of adding other features such a garden hose, tiki torches, Polaroid cameras, popsicles, hammocks and a trampoline (add-ons are extra).
“We’ve had interest from groups of 20-year-olds and people looking to do kids’ parties,” Participation Agency co-owner Jacqui Kavanagh told the Toronto Star. The makeshift backyard holds up to 30 people.
