When You Think Of A New York Private Party Space For A Social Gathering What Comes To Mind?

Most of us consider a party space venue's logistics: convenient location, easy access to metro transportation, space size, guest capacity, rental rates, onsite amenities and offered services.

Why Should You Rent My Garden?

Brooklyn is New York's best kept secret! My artfully designed red brick garden is located in the heart of the historical Bedford - Stuyvesant (Bed - Stuy) neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. My private garden is also located in a safe residential tree lined urban community setting consisting of mostly four story brownstone homes with convenience to public metro transportation and car service. We are near the A express train stop at Utica. Guest Maximum Capacity 40. Reasonable Hosting Rental Rates.

Garden Amenities: a mature majestic shade oak tree, an onsite bbq grill and meat smoker great outdoor garden solar lighting and red brick landscaping. Featuring a crystal chandelier, an art decor fireplace kitchen that leads to an inspired oak framed window that allows you to "take an imaginery flight" and make an impressive grand entry from the parlor's 2nd floor into the garden and bathroom access.

There is nothing like the natural umbrella and shade of a mature oak tree, hear the birds sing, feel the sun or a summer evening breeze against your skin. It's nothing like experiencing the tranquility of nature in my garden. It's a natural stress reliever. Enjoying the outdoors and the comforts of my garden's patio furniture is only one of the things that makes it a joy to Rent My Garden. My garden is a great place to relax and enjoy a refreshing glass of ice cold tea or sip your favorite sparkling fruit cider or sparkling wine in natural day sunlight or ambient evening light.

When Your Party Is Too Small For A Banquet Hall It's Just Right For Us!

We specialize in personal and business events -- on a small intimate scale.

When was the last time you cooked T - Bones, meaty beef ribs, sirloin burgers, jerked chicken, turkey legs, skewered shrimp or smoked pork chops or sausage on the grill? Cooking with wood or adding wood to grill will give you the best Brooklyn New York mouth-watering BBQ. Your guests can be greeted with a serene ambiance and the heavenly scent of burning wood and smoked meat.

The aroma and smoke from real wood enhances a cookout. The smell of the wood infusing-- permeating and lingering in the air fills the senses... is alluring, creates an enticing eating mood, fire up the taste buds and wets the appetite of your guests as they watch the smoke wisp in the air. The smoke aromas can linger for hours. You and your guests are in for an unforgettable experience... indeed!

Let me make this even more mouthwatering for you by saying...

There is something special about smoked meats, poultry and fish. Smoke wood produces an incredible distinctive flavor and taste. When you want to have a "good old fashioned flavorful hickory or mesquite meat, delicious poultry or fish smoke barbeque" we want you to Rent Our Garden. BBQ Cookouts are right for any summer party celebration. BBQ Cookouts are casual. There is no pretense, the way it should be... fun!

What distinguish Rent My Garden is our home-style hospitality. When you Rent My Garden for your barbeque it's like entertaining your guests at home. You bring the food and we'll have the meat smoker and / or the grill ready and waiting for you or your appointed BBQ cook. We are going to provide you with everything you need. You don't have to haul your own bbq grill equipment, utensils or charcoal.

You have the choice of several prepared slow cooking fires. BBQing is a personal hobby of mine. The cooking secret to a good BBQ is the fire -- a slow burning fire! You can have a slow burning all wood (hickory or mesquite) white ash amber fire or an all charcoal (my preference Kingsford & sometimes Royal Oak briquettes) white ash amber fire or a wood and charcoal combination mixed white ash amber fire.

SAFETY, SAFETY, AND MORE SAFETY

Fire Safety Warning: Fire Safety is a big one to pay close attention to when barbequeing. Therefore, our grills are position out of the direct walk pathway of guests. The appointed BBQ Pit Master is responsible for paying attention and controling the grill's fire. A water squirt bottle and water containers are provided for unexpected grease and bbq grill flame flare-ups.

FYI: A Fire Extinguisher is available in the garden and the kitchen for emergency use.

Please remember that no child, under any circumstances, should be left unattended or without adult supervision when a bbq grill is being used or left unattended in the garden or on the stairs or bathroom. Great bbq party memories and good times will last a life time if we take care to guard the ones we love from accidents and possible dangerous situations.

My mother was a culinary artist in the kitchen. My mom could pretty much envision, prepare, taste and create dishes in her mind, before actually creating them in her kitchen. My Mom was a helluva baker, cook and bbqer and so was many other members of my family. I learned the basics of cooking from them. The little extras that my mom added that made her food fabulous was her love for her family and passion for cooking. These two key ingredients are not written in any recipe.

I can still hear my mother's voice say "you can always recognize a good cook by the way they keep their kitchen and cooking area. Good cooks will clean as they cook". Therefore, we will be on hand to assist you, your appointed griller and servers with keeping the grilling, serving areas and bathroom clean and tidy throughout your event.

Food always played a key role in my family's get togethers. My mother inspired my love for food and cooking and my uncle Slim inspired my love for barbeque. My uncle Slim built a concrete-block barbeque pit in my mother's backyard and taught me how to prepare spare ribs, make a fire, flavor meat and bbq with hickory wood when I was 14 years young. Uncle Slim was a good cook and in my opinion he was the ultimate bbq pit master.

Uncle Slim always brought a case of pork ribs. He would wash the pork rib slabs under cool running facet water and using a sharp knife trim the fat but not all of it. He would say... "you want to leave some fat on it for the grease to drip on the fire while cooking". He seasoned the ribs with nothing more than salt and pepper.

One of the many things that I admired about Uncle Slim he was always patience with me. He was a great bbq cooking instructor. He would take the time to explain everything and answer any questions that I asked. He always made things easy to understand, simple, fun and enjoyable.

Uncle Slim would cook the ribs over a slow burning fire. He used charcoal as the main source of heat. He start his fire with a small brown paper bag and a few... about 12 charcoal briquets. He tear and ball up the brown paper bag and stack the charcoal briquets in a pyramid over the balled up brown paper. Then he would add a little bit of lighter fluid and light it. In the meantime, he used a wire brush to clean the bbq grill grate and remove any access food. He dip a tightly folded napkin in vegetable oil and wipe across the grill to prevent his ribs from sticking.

Uncle Slim was very attentive to his fire. He would let the charcoal briquets burn and ash over... about 15 - 20 minutes latter he would spread them out with a hand rank and add more charcoal. He let the new charcoal bisquets catch fire and ash over... about 1 hour latter he would add small amounts of cut hickory wood and rake some of the hot coals over the wood and let the wood burn for about 20 minutes or so before placing his pork ribs on the grill. I still use Uncle Slim's slow burning fire methods to bbq. Yes... as incredible as it may seem when it comes to the success or failure of your grilling the secret to good bbq is the fire! Uncle Slim would let his fire burn 90 minutes to 2 hours before he would place his ribs on the grill. Sometimes he would use only charcoal and add hickory soaked chips during the grilling process.

Uncle Slim was one of the best griller and authentic southern bbq cooks. He was passionated about his BBQ. He invested alot of time sitting with his bbqing fire and his BBQ was always consistenly good. Uncle Slim cooked the best authentic southern bbq pork ribs I have ever tasted. His meat was moist, tender and had a great savory hickory flavor.

Uncle Slim homemade BBQ sauce was a simple vinegar, tomatoe base and spices secret. It was delicious. He would use a small BBQ hand mop to put it on the ribs just before removing them from the grill. His homemade BBQ finishing sauce would compliment the hickory flavor meat without overpowering it. I'm good at keeping secrets, which is probably why I'll never disclose Uncle Slim's, my mother or my family's heirloom of cooking recipes secrets.

The common mistakes I learned that most backyard bbqing people make is saturating their charcoal with lighter fluid or adding more lighter fluid directly to the burning hot coals (very dangerous) and thinking the higher the flames the better the fire. Then immediately cooking their meat over the lighter fluid fumes and the roaring fire and high flaring flames which cooks the residual toxins from the fumes into their meat and cooks their meat too fast.

Usually, when this happens their meat is charred-- burnt and crispy on the outside and raw or half cooked on the inside instead of being cooked, moist and tender. The burnt flavor isn't pleasant to the palete. The lighter fluid is toxic and unhealthy. My advice for the flame lovers tame the inferno inside of you and control the BBQ fire!

We Know The Secrets And Tips That You Need To Know If You Want The Perfect BBQ!

Do you want your meat juicy? Use the right bbq tools or tongs to turn your meat over, don't stab it. Stabbing your juicy steak, chicken or ribs actually releases those juices, leaving the meat dry and plain. Use your sauces towards the end of the cooking time as sugars are cooked off when used too early. Using sauce at the end and turning over your chicken or ribs will leave it juicy and flavorful, leaving you and your guests wanting more. Also, don't cut the meat right off the grill. Waiting about five minutes keeps the juices in. Let me know if these bbq tips help you!

My most favorite thing about bbq is the event-- the people and the joy it brings. People forget about their problems and worries and just relax and enjoy each other. It's the laughter echoing in the garden and it's seeing faces light up at twlight and the feeling of jubilation. It's sharing these special moments in life with people we love-- family and friends that draws them a little closer to us.

It's the passion bbq enthusiats feel for it. Being able to have our families involved. I love grilled foods. They say it just tastes better and I have to agree.
