Started this in NYC with a group that did tours. Got a whole lot of free food and sufficiently grossed out my parents. It seems weird until you start to know more and more people who do it (which inevitably happens when you surrounded yourself in these types of things) and then it just seems normal, like, “Oh, is this dumpstered?”
I once went to a Freegan dinner party (read: all dumpstered food) at Rubulad in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It’s..I think the first Sunday of every month (don’t quote me on that). Delish.
