Christmas Trees?

I'm new to the neighbourhood and since I finally have the space to put up a tree this year, I plan on doing so. However, it seems like there are no locations within walking distance of my new place (E 10th and Ave H). Recommendations? I don't really have the money to spend on ordering one from a service (the prices are outrageous) and I won't have a car for at least another month.

Thank you in advance for any ideas.

UPDATE:

The TrueValue Hardware Store near the Newkirk Avenue station on the Q/B line has trees out front, but they're dried out and none seem to be smaller than 7 feet. I really would like to put a tree up this year, but I refuse to put up a fire hazard. Any other locations in the general vicinity of Ave H/Coney Island?
