A Dumpster pool near Grand Central Terminal. These code-compliant pools have lifeguards and portable showers. (K. Luce)
By RACHEL LEE HARRIS
Go for a swim in a Dumpster in Midtown Manhattan. Macro-Sea, the company that created last year’s invitation-only Dumpster pools in Brooklyn, has transformed more shipping containers into code-compliant pools, complete with lifeguards, decks, cabanas and portable showers and toilets. Free entry bracelets will be handed out for time slots from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. The pools are part of the city’s Summer Streets initiative, which has closed off Park Avenue to motor vehicles from Chambers to 72nd Streets for the next two Saturdays. (Park Avenue, at 40th Street; nyc.gov/html/dot/summerstreets.)
Have a great weekend!!
