Despite the heat and the stench, the season is synonymous with all-day outings to Central Park in which the kids can run barefoot and get exposed to nature without having to leave the city. It&#8217;s lovely, really, except more than one Canadian friend has secretly admitted that it&#8217;s just not the same as having your own backyard replete with barbecue, kiddie pool and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GL2hYF2a2aY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wet Banana Slide<\/a> (so 80s!).<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;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).
