Porch Sitting is a term used to describe people watching from a front porch or stoop, generally from a private residence. Porch sitting can be both a direct and indirect form of social interaction. While partaking in "porch sitting", people may "cat call" or talk to and comment on those passing by. This activity is a staple of most urban areas in the United States, and helps contribute to a lively atmosphere, for those sitting and also those passing by. This activity is most common during nice weather, especially on warm summer nights and weekends.
Playing music, consuming alcohol and smoking cigarettes or marijuana are common activities closely associated with Porch Sitting. These activities are not required, nor universal, as many choose to eat and share meals, read, or simply relax on their porch. Porch Sitting is a staple among populations of varying demographics.
