New York City is one of those places people love to visit, and where even more people love calling home. There are so many amazing things about living in the city, but one thing that’s not typically available is a garage (tag, yard) sale – there just aren’t garages readily available!
That doesn’t stop New Yorkers from offering their castoffs to their neighbors before they go to the trash, though. Instead of going “garage saling,” people go “stooping” to find things others have put out on their porch, free for the taking.
Here are 12 images from the Instagram account @stoopingnyc, which people can follow to try and nab something special.
