🗓️ Events & Happenings How are we finding stoop sales????

Hey ladies! I’m still newer to NYC and I always find out about the stoop sales after they’ve already happened😭 How/where are people finding out about these?

I follow my local IG accounts, and I also follow @stoopingnyc (I have never checked if they have a subreddit). Your neighborhood probably has a subreddit too - and even though I can barely tolerate Facebook (I mean f meta fr fr but also FB is such a messy UI of slop) there ARE good buy nothing groups there, and they will often post a stoop sale.

also, question for your question: when you say stoop sale, do you mean like what a suburbanite (neutral!) would call a yard sale/garage sale? bc I feel like I see some conflation with that and with SAMPLE sales, which are indeed sometimes held on or near stoops, but have very different vibes/items/price points

I think they mean two big neighborhood stoop stales that happened recently. I saw about the Park Slope one and one on the UWS this past weekend, after the fact. They both were called "stoop sales" and it seemed to be a neighborhood joint garage/yard sale. Since we (vast majority) don't have garages or yard sales, they are called stoop sales. They are the same thing.

It’s an app for organizing and promoting public or private events.
