Well, I’ve still not got that Christmas tree for the apartment. I’m such a procrastinator. I’m looking at this week’s weather — and maybe Thursday’s the day to do the deed.
I got a recommendation from my friend Juli, to head to Josh on 9th Avenue between W56/57th Street. She spotted them taking delivery of fresh trees last night: “It was a perfect NYC moment. The truck was dropping off more trees and the guys were chucking them while yelling out ‘tree, tree!’ It smelled so good too.”
She even sent a sweet little video of the new supplies being delivered, complete with a song!
