How to get help with tasks and move stuff around NYC without a car in 2025

This weekend I had an adventure! I needed to move a big TV from 12th Street to 57th Street, and then take a different TV from 57th Street to 47th Street. In Manhattan. I can't do it with a train pass, so how do you do it!?

TaskRabbit to the rescue!

What can you use TaskRabbit for?

Think of it like this. If you've got a task like:

  • Mounting;
  • Installation;
  • Moving;
  • Packing;
  • Furniture assembly;
  • Home improvement;
  • General handy tasks; or
  • Heavy lifting;

These are the people for you! Super duper-friendly people who come to your place (with a car if you need it) and help you with a seemingly insurmountable pain in the butt problem.

SPECIAL shout out to Tim T, my legend from this week:

Tim T Task Rabbit

He took care of my whole task in 45 minutes! I mean. That's near superhuman! Thanks, Tim!

If you want $20 to get started (and want to give me a kickback of the same so I can use Tim again) head to my referral link at: https://www.taskrabbit.com/r/3ux23/try

Let me know how you go!
