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.
I didn't expect this market to be as fun as it was.
Thanks everyone for the nice suggestions and advice along the way. You saved me a few times from decision fatigue and as a spontaneous/wandering type, you gave me some nice context so I knew which direction to step when I walked out of my door.
Thanks for being here 🧡
can't believe I'm saying this but @traders this is going to resolve yes. please be friendly amongst yourselves and share the liquidity? I'll resolve when my plane lands. 🥯
@strutheo thank god no one put that on the list it was hard enough getting to and from Queens for vegan Bolivian food.
@Shump I haven't actually I just haven't resolved these yet as I'm also in a personal conflict about it lol
@NicoDelon 😅 the pretzels really let you down hey
(I was preconditioned for disappointment here so it likely would have skewed my experience 🥨)
@shankypanky I think the natural interpretation of this should be "no" (since not buying it at all is a subset of not both buying and being sorely disappointed), but oh well.
@ShakedKoplewitz this was my debate. I thought better to return everyone's investment since I was torn. I appreciate your perspective
@duck_master I love street food and I'll try but it's a bit of a stretch at this stage - I'm leaving Monday
there's tons of great street food around for sure
(ngl I've got to go on a water fast when I wrap up this trip - too much good food too many snacks)
@ShakedKoplewitz didn't make it to the ice cream shop but there's a speakeasy behind a doughnut shop in bk 🍩
