Preparation Tips:
- Bring sunscreen, a block of ice or COLD WATER, and an umbrella or visor to stay comfortable in the sun.
- Use the subway or public bus to get around the city. Avoid the heat! Learn to read the signs and check MTA.info for up-to-date information.
Event Strategy:
- Prioritize the pop-up events that interest you the most.
- Plan to arrive at least an hour and two hours earlier than your scheduled plan to ensure a good spot.
- Never plan to arrive 1 hour before pop up ends, recently events have been capping the “line”; stopping anyone from joining the current line, to make sure the event closes on time. Make sure to head over att least 2-3 hrs before if you can!
Important Notes:
- Events have limited supplies, so be aware that items given out or sold are available while supplies last.
- Be kind to event workers and hosts, as it’s a busy city. Being friendly might even earn you extra perks!
I hope this helps! Remember pop ups are supposed to be fun and a way for you to try before you buy. Not all pop ups will have full-sized goodies or have great weather. So make sure to have fun, talk to a neighbor on line or brand ambassador. Keep the good vibes going.
