I can't really sit still too long. I've been sitting still too long in Seattle.
I've just booked a trip to NYC and it feels like the perfect bingo/scavenger hunt destination...

I've been inspired by the bingo markets for @ManifoldLive (hat tip @Joshua) and, fully accepting that this market may not get the visibility it needs to build a really colourful list, I want to play.

This is a free response market. Add suggestions of things I should do/see, or things you think I may encounter in my two weeks there.

Relevant bits:

  • my trip is 26/12-8/1

  • I'm subletting an apartment, so hotel-related responses less likely to resolve yes

  • I've taken 2023 off alcohol; that said, I love going to bars and talking to strangers so related responses are probably a good bet regardless of whether I drink in 2024

  • I'm single, traveling solo

  • I'm not currently on @ManifoldLove but considering joining and trying my luck at my own NY RomCom?

  • I'm not much of a "top things to do in..." type, and keen for some more irreverent suggestions

    • feel free to add things that can happen without my intention/intervention like "see a marriage proposal" or "be insulted by a well-dressed woman"

  • I'll take photos for posterity on relevant resolutions

I haven't decided whether I'll bet on this market, but I'm personally interested in resolving as many yes answers as I can. will resolve n/a at my discretion, but count on it for answers that are impossible or unavailable to me.


after market close, I will use a randomiser to select one yes and one no resolution for 250 Mana to each submitter.

adding junk responses will result either in an automatic N/A, or my betting it up and resolving to my benefit. but basically, don't do that.
