Stooping is quite the phenomenon in NYC. You can find real treasures out in the wild of the city streets. Stooping is when someone throws out an item and leaves it on the street or stoop for someone else to pick up before it goes to the trash.
I’ve been wanting a large fake plant for my apartment (which doesn’t get a lot of natural light) for ages. I was delighted to find this one discarded on the street in Park Slope. It’s in perfect shape and looks real. A+ stooping!
