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.
