How to Find Pop-Ups Near You in NYC

Pop-ups are some of the best parts of the city: food, clothes, art and things you won't find in any store. The hard part has always been finding them before they're gone. Here's how to do it with Secret World.

Finding pop-ups

• Open the map. Pop-ups show up as pins near you, so you see what's close first.
• Tap a pin. See what they're selling, where exactly they are, and when.
• Go while it's on. Pop-ups don't stay long. If something looks good, go now.

Tips for getting the most out of it

• Check the map on weekends and evenings, when more people are out selling.
• Look a few blocks out. Some of the best finds are just past where you usually walk.
• Tell the seller you found them on Secret World. It helps them keep coming back.

Running your own pop-up

If you sell anything, from food and clothes to art and services, you can put your own pop-up on the map.

• Say what you're selling, in plain words.
• Set the exact spot and the time you'll be there.
• Add a photo so people know what to look for.

People nearby will see it while you're open. That's the whole point: customers who are close enough to show up.
