A season change is the natural moment to clear out the closet, and Outlandish turns it into a neighborly afternoon in its backyard on Franklin Avenue. The idea is simple: bring what you're not reaching for anymore, browse what others brought and walk away with a refreshed fall wardrobe without spending anything. With Open Streets closing the avenue to cars, it pairs well with a lazy Crown Heights stroll.
What to expect
Drop your gently used pieces into the swap, then browse the piles and racks others have contributed. It's informal and community-run: take what you love and leave the rest for the next person.
Good to know
- Take the 2/3/4/5 to Franklin Avenue or the S shuttle to Park Place.
- Bring clean, gently used clothing in good condition.
- A tote bag makes it easier to carry home your finds.
- Franklin Avenue Open Streets runs alongside, so the block is good for a longer wander.
- RSVP on the Partiful page so the hosts know how many to expect.
