There’s no question that New York City is a place unlike any other. Home to nearly20 millionpeople, the Big Apple is a bustling city full of culture. Here, you can visit some of the best museums the world has to offer, catch an incredibly Broadway show, see your favorite band play live (as they’re not going to skip NYC on their tour), have a thousand different culinary experiences and make a stop in Central Park for some peace, quiet and fresh air.And one of the most special things NYC has to offer is the culture of stooping. Now, I grew up in a city in Texas where it was common for people to leave unwanted furniture on the sidewalk outside of their homes too. But it was a lot trickier to catch something good, as you had to know where to go. However, in New York, there are millions of people packed into only 469 square miles and thousands of people walking down every street at all hours of the day, which means it’s theperfectplace to find stooping gold.

We also asked the couple if there’s anything in particular they’re on the hunt for when out stooping. “I don’t think we’ve ever thought of it that way. We’re not really looking for any items, we’re more looking for things that are super useful to people, amazing additions to people’s homes or fun for us to write captions and storytell against!” they told Bored Panda.Finally, the stooping experts added that they would love to be sent more stooping successes. “That’s our favorite part!” they shared.

Aside from the obvious plus of getting home goods for free, stooping can be a great way to help out the planet too.Overconsumptionis a huge issue nowadays, from purchasing too much IKEA furniture to buying fast fashion clothing that will only last one season. The more we can cut down on buying new, and instead focus on reusing what’s already in existence, the more we can cut down on our environmental impact as well. After all, who would want to buy a brand new dresser when there’s a perfectly good one sitting out on the street?

If you live in NYC, or anotherstooping-friendly city, and you’re looking for advice on how to find the best treasures your home has to offer, theNew York Timeshas provided some tips. In NYC specifically, residents are only allowed to place bulk items on the street from 4 p.m. to midnight the night before trash is collected, so that’s usually a great time to check. But it’s also wise to keep an eye out at the end of any month, when people tend to move, and over the weekends when residents have enough time on their hands to get items outside.

As The Kids Would Say…gtfoh!

There are also certain neighborhoods that are better for stooping than others. For example, the Upper East Side in NYC is well known for having amazing stooping finds. But every neighborhood will have different items, and every resident will have their own opinions on where the best places to check out are. Dumbo in Brooklyn and Ridgewood, Queens are other notable areas to visit, the New York Times suggests.

There’s also certain stooping etiquette that you’ll want to know when going out searching for your own goods. For example, if you come across an item with pieces missing, such as drawers, that may be a sign that someone has claimed it and will be coming back to get it. And unless an item is clearly on the curb, don’t take it. You should also be ready to pay anyone who’s around to help you relocate a large or heavy item.
