SantaCon is set to kick off in McCarren Park this Saturday, much to the chagrin of anyone who's ever kicked an empty Starbucks cup on Bedford Avenue and yelled "WILLIAMSBURG IS DEAD" at top volume. The annual holiday shit show's route has been shrouded in mystery all week, but was just REVEALED, and the results will SHOCK YOU. Or not. Probably not at all.
Behold, your weekend nightmare, per the Times:
They will meet at 10 a.m. at McCarren Park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Beginning at 11, they will host parties at the nearby clubs Verboten and the Hall. Midday, they will go to the Delancey and the DL on the Lower East Side. In the late afternoon, they will travel to the East Village, where there will be events at Solas, Bar 13 and at 230 Fifth, near Madison Square Park. For a $10 donation, participants can get into all the SantaCon-sponsored parties, where they pay for their drinks.
Stay safe, humans and Santas! Better yet, stay home.
