The Metrotech Christmas tree is shockingly symmetrical. But something’s up with the haphazard picket fence when you compare it to the perfect circle of last year. This fence is an afterthought, as in, Oh, yeah, we’d better keep the hungry Brooklyn wildlife out.

When I walked past, I didn’t think the lights were turned on – this is a somewhat understated tree, despite the bows. The picket fence seemed a little suburban, but nearby is a Tom Otterness sculpture of a manhole alligator with its jaws wrapped around a smaller creature. We are in an alternate universe here in Metrotech.
