Photos by Derek Berg

FREE 

Wierd [sic] circus-y thing 

Please take

Grab a chair: 'Free + clean' and for the taking on 2nd Avenue

As seen late this afternoon on the west side of Second Avenue near Sixth Street ... photos by Steven...

There's always a catch

This air filter is up from grabs on Ninth Street between Avenue A and First Avenue. 

However, there's a large BUT...

"Missing filter. Cleaned out of roaches but take at your own risk."

Noted

As seen on 12th Street ... "free" and "clean" plastic storage bins... bonus — "COVID free." 

Thanks to Lola Sáenz for the photo...

Free TV pitch (Martha Hanson edition)

There's a TV up for grabs along Ninth Street west of First Avenue... and the person who left it behind offered up some details on the TV...

This TV works!!! 

Although it's not smart...... 

I did watch "The Americans" on it. (On FX.) 

Felt bad for Martha, but she's on "Snowpiercer" now! 

GFJ Martha!

Thanks Jason Corey for the photo!

Sunday's parting shots

Spotted on 10th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B this evening... a little guilt with this freebie... (thanks to Steven for the photos!) ...

Today in free fennel on Avenue A

EVG reader Kate spotted this note and stash of what is believed to be fennel on Avenue A near 10th Street...

Whoops!

Thought this was dill ... it's fennel!

Please take! (Organic)

Today in free stuff on 13th Street

A reader-submitted photo from 13th Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue... enjoy!

Today's free book selections

Subjects in the pile of discarded books at the St. Mark's Place entrance to Tompkins Square Park include Ralph Waldo Emerson, the San Francisco Earthquake and Leonardo DiCaprio Da Vinci.

Thanks to Vinny & O for the photo this morning.

Sunday morning freebies

Spotted on Second Avenue on the steps of the former Church of the Nativity between Third Street and Second Street... hurry, because I'm going back as soon as I find a VCR.

Spotted on Avenue B near Second Street. We appreciate the honest assessment of this discarded Shark Pet Perfect Hand Vacuum.

Also, we looked up this product and learned something about people who buy the Shark Pet Perfect Hand Vacuum via Amazon... they have excellent taste in films...

Today in free flatscreen TVs

This one's up for grabs on East First Street outside Meltzer Towers Park between First Avenue and Avenue A... Per the note taped to the top of the set, "This one works perfectly!!!"

Free surfboard alert

On the southwest corner of First Avenue and Second Street as of 8:45 a.m.

And now we're humming this…

FREE TO A GOOD HOME

A reader let us know that ... this green thing is sitting outside Theatre 80 at 80 St. Mark's Place ... and it is free right now — 11:14 a.m. ... looks like it could hold up to four roommates, so there may be some income potential.

In case you have a few loose screws

Free bed frame! Yours for the taking on Elizabeth at East Houston... Clean? Maybe not now. Been here long enough to be tagged...

[Updated] Someone is unloading a shitload of (mostly) free records now on East 2nd Street

On East Second Street just east of Second Avenue near Anthology Film Archives, per EVG reader Stephanie.

An EVG Facebook friend has more: "The workers are trying to make some cash by charging a buck for the good stuff but most of it all is free. Boxes and boxes of Stones, Beatles, Beach Boys, Hendrix, Badfinger etc etc. I got a fancy gatefold EP by the Dentists."

Anyone know more about who these belonged too?

Updated:

Dang. Nice to see this... Oh, if you see a copy of "Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow," please put it aside for me.

Free iced things tomorrow

From the EV Grieve inbox... from S'MAC

Since Wednesday, June 20th, is the first day of summer, we decided to ring in the hot weather with free iced coffee or iced tea at our First Park location. Come swing by our kiosk to get a refreshing iced drink!

P.S. - this offer is available only at the First Park Cafe (which opens at 7 a.m.) and not at our 12th Street restaurant.
