You’d like nothing more than to host all your favorite people for a leisurely backyard dinner party. Unfortunately, your only “outdoor entertaining space” consists of a rusty fire escape and withering aloe plant. This is where Peerspace comes in: Like Airbnb, but specifically for event spaces, the clever service collates amazing gardens, rooftops and terraces, all available to rent by the hour. We’re betting one of these nine venues will be pretty much perfect for your upcoming birthday/bridal shower/hallelujah-it’s-above-70 fete.

Who wouldn’t want to entertain in a “renaissance garden”? Tucked off the back of a former antiquarian bookstore, this fairy light-covered oasis is begging for an early-summer dinner party.

Tuscan Polish In Clinton Hill
Hello, garden-party digs of our dreams. We love this brick-lined courtyard, which is surrounded by mature trees, potted blooms and creeping vines.

Total Escapism In Stuyvesant Heights
This landmark triplex brownstone has, as Stefon would say, everything: a glassed-in upper deck, zen-like garden terrace, a huge (by Brooklyn standards) pond and not one but two babbling waterfalls.

Picnic-ready In Fort Greene
You’d be hard-pressed to find a more charming venue for your next day party (or “darty,” as the kids are saying). We especially love the casual picnic table setup for a birthday brunch or sun-dappled baby shower.
