Holiday Lights: 82nd Street
(All photos: Brian Hedden)
Down 17th and 18th Avenues, from 60th Street to 84th Street, I’ve only been able to find one tree stand. Unlucky for me, it closes at 6pm on weekdays, and I didn’t find this out until 7pm on Monday night.
I don’t think it’s worth venturing further north than 60th – something tells me the Orthodox Jews of Borough Park are not going to have a target-rich environment as far as Christmas trees are concerned. I wonder if I had bothered to poke my head down to 86th Street if I would have struck pay dirt, but I was already many blocks from home.
No biggie – at least I came across this row of houses on 84th Street at 18th Avenue.
A gentle reminder that there are not many tree-shopping days left this holiday season.
I really like the way this photo turned out.
