The Tree Riders have the most picturesque seasonal workspace in the neighborhood ... on Second Avenue between 10th Street and 11th Street outside the historic St. Mark’s Church-in-the-Bowery.
The vendors recently started their 12th year here... EVG contributor Stacie Joy recently walked through the 24/7 tree stand for a little holiday spirit ...
The list of other local tree sellers includes vendors on Astor Place (at Lafayette), Essex and Houston, and 14th Street at First Avenue.
Nothing like walking through the corridors of trees this time of year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, as always! A most welcome addition to our neighborhood at Christmas time!
ReplyDeleteI've been passing through there daily, walking very slooooowly, just so I can breathe the fresh air. It's the best time of year!
ReplyDeleteI really miss the tree stand that used to be in front of Rite Aid at 5th Street. The construction garbage from next door continues to deny us the joy of having a forest on that corner.
Love it, those guys & girls are great, always cool to give us trimmings to take back and place under the tree in the square outside our apt - Thanks again y'all - stay warm
