Particularly in NYC… the FINDS are endless.. you can really hop on crazy opportunities. Put a partial down payment to guarantee it. Low ball. Do it. So much better than eBay. Akin to CraigsList. Use it as an opportunity to go to a part of the city you haven’t been. Hit an acquaintance up who you know lives in that area, perfect excuse to say hello. Or Bring a read and go to a wine bar solo. Truuuust.
quite possibly one of my favorite pastime, i LOVE scrolling through facebook marketplace. i sound like every boyfriend roping their s/o into getting something random but TRUST, there’s just so much to enjoy on there. obv there’s the actual good finds but there is a certain magic that comes with your random finds. just so you all see what i’m talking about, i present to you the following:)
the only reasons i keep my facebook account are for my facebook-loving boomer mother and for the absolute treasure trove that is facebook marketplace, specifically in nyc. amid the most gorgeous guitars, the antique furniture, and the reupholstered cushions, you will also find the wildest items and unhinged seller descriptions. it’s the best thing in the world. i torture myself on a regular basis looking at the stuff on there and you can too 🫶
Honestly, the only good thing about trad social media is Facebook marketplace. Just got a mega deal cause I hit it off with the guy who was selling me a thing!
1) beer + shot combo: can either order a nicer liquor (sip) or the well option (take as shot). Fun to order with friend/SO. Cheap yet cost effective way to get the evening started. mmmm we love Whiskey 2) espresso shot/cortado/etc. with seltzer sidecar. the latter is a lovely refresher/cleanser to offset the strong coffee flavor.. and it’s fun to say “sidecar”
