Quick answer: BoardSpy finds daily NYC deals from public Instagram and Facebook posts — restaurant specials, coffee promos, and retail offers — then ranks them by your interests. It is social-feed discovery, not a Groupon voucher checkout.
NYC restaurants, coffee shops, and retailers often announce specials on social feeds before those offers land on coupon sites. BoardSpy collects public offer-style posts for New York City, deduplicates repeats, and ranks them so you spend less time scrolling and more time using what’s actually on today.
What you get
- Social-feed promos — not structured Groupon vouchers
- AI-ranked matches for food, retail, and other interests
- Same app as NYC commute traffic alerts
- Time-sensitive posts that many coupon directories never index

- Collect public offer-style posts tied to New York City from Instagram- and Facebook-style feeds.

- Classify into food, coffee, retail, and related interests.
- Rank against the preferences you set, so coffee specials rise if that is what you care about.

Why social-feed deals matter in NYC
In a city this dense, many of the best same-day specials never become formal coupons. A Midtown lunch promo, a Brooklyn coffee BOGO, or a weekend retail markdown often lives only as a Stories post or a Facebook update. If you only check Groupon-style sites, you miss that layer.
BoardSpy is built for that gap: surface what businesses already posted publicly, then sort it for a commuter or resident who does not have time to chase every neighborhood account.
Pair deals with your NYC commute
Traffic and lunch are the same weekday problem. Use NYC commute traffic alerts to know whether to leave early, then browse local deals when you have a window to stop for food or coffee. Driving through and need food on the corridor itself? See where to eat driving through NYC.

Coverage note
Deal volume depends on public social posting in NYC. BoardSpy does not guarantee every neighborhood or category. Always verify offers with the business before you go — posts can expire, change, or apply only in-store.
