$50 to rent a lawn?
You can also be alone at McSorley's on Christmas Eve. Uh, anyone care to join me this year?
Thanks for the link!
"Guests are invited to furnish their private suburban backyard"
Here's an idea, move to the suburbs, then you can have that shit 24/7. I moved here to escape suburban backyards.
I wish I could join you Goggla, but sadly I'll be in Peoria on Christmas Eve (speaking of the suburbs!)
Is that tapas bar the same El Cid that used to be on 15th St between 8th & 9th? Because if so, that's *good* news - they had awesome sangria and a good atmosphere.
That "Curated Back-yard" is possibly the most revolting thing I've seen all week (in a week that's been full of revolting things).
I never went to the Galaxy Diner.
