In case you are looking to buy the ol' [insert your name here!] family holiday tree on Thanksgiving

You're in luck! You can find some at St. Mark's Market...



Whole Foods Bowery ($50 for a Fraser Fir!)...



...and a new treecomer on Second Avenue in front of Jupiter 21...




No trees just yet at the Trailer Park Santa stand on First Avenue and East 14th Street...



There are likely more stands up. Maybe outside Rite Aid on First Avenue?

Anyway! Buy early, discard early, and pretend it is leftover from December 2012... win a prize.

    There's also a stand with trees outside the Morton Williams supermarket on Bleecker Street.

    what an outright display of conspicuous consumption.

    more trees are needed, they take years to grow mighty and strong, they result in monocultures that ruin biodiversity where the farms are, let's cut it down!! throw some lights on it! and then discard them in a month's time!

    all that for tradition. crazy humans!

    I've been waiting for the ones outside Rite Aid and actually called there to ask if the stand was up yet. No dice as of yesterday. Have gotten my tree there the last three or four years because it's the same friendly guy every time.

    The trees outside the Whole Foods are obnoxious. The sidewalk gets jammed because of the trees, the people stopping to look at them/buy them, the tree seller, then anyone trying to walk by!

    Leesy,

    The trees were getting set up outside the Rite Aid around 5:30PM tonight!
