Plans posted by people who live here. No tickets, no events page; a neighbor is doing something and a couple of spots are open.
Astoria is quiet right now. The first plan posted is the one everyone sees, and the first 50 hosts become Founding members.
getting a coffee saturday morning before the neighborhood wakes up, come sit
Stoop is a neighborhood noticeboard, not an events site. Someone in Astoria posts a thing they were already going to do this week: coffee before work, a slow run, a pickup game, a gallery or bookstore wander, live music, a long walk. Up to three neighbors join. That's the whole idea. In Astoria that tends to look like a walk through Astoria Park under the Hell Gate Bridge, coffee on Ditmars.
Every plan is posted by a phone-verified neighbor, capped at four people total, and happens somewhere public in or near Astoria. It's a low-key way to meet people nearby and make friends in New York City without profiles, swiping, or ticketed events.
