Yesterday, dozens of NYC's most creative shopping cart enthusiasts waded through the slush and gathered in McCarren Park for the 10th annual Idiotarod—or as it's now known thanks to some humorless Alaskans, the Idiotarodorama NYC. The event was chock-full of all the colorful, bizarre costumes we've come to expect from participants, including sea monsters, Santas, Mario Brothers, aliens, and lots of things which don't necessarily have names. Check out all the costumes in the photos above, plus a video of the procession below.
