There is no place to buy a Christmas Tree on Roosevelt Island this year. So a resident goes to Manhattan to buy one, bring it back home on the Tram and this happens.
From the Roosevelt Island Twitterverse (X).
Had a great hipster Seinfeld moment taking my Christmas tree home on the tram. I’m with my Hungarian MIL when a tourist starts, “Why is there a big, fat tree in my view?”

“I’ll tell you why. I live here. This is how I get home from the City. You live on Roosevelt Island?”
“No.”
The tourist’s mother joins in. “There’s no need for all that.”

“Lady, she shoulda minded her business. This New York. Ask a stupid question, get a smart answer.”
In the old days, nobody complained about a Reindeer on the Tram.
