I’m not counting the roses by the fountain. What we need are some colorful annuals. The grass is looking lush and green, after a few days of rain, in any case. I think a little patience is called for. We will see flowers eventually.

NYC begins here

NYC begins here begins here because we said so. It would be more satisfying if the place were visible and contained within a fence, à la Plymouth Rock. The Visitor Center must be inside Borough Hall, which is about a hundred steps to the right.
Borough Hall tree

The Christmas tree in front of Borough Hall is huge but not ginormous. Here in Brooklyn we don’t need a trillion twinkling lights. Cut-outs in the shape of stockings, stars, and moons are just right, a change from traditional ornaments, though I sincerely doubt whoever set up the tree was trying to reference Christmas’ origin as a pagan celebration.
