I stopped by the beginning of NYC Santacon today at World Financial Center, where thousands of New Yorkers and the bridge/tunnel crowd showed up to dress in gaudy red santa suits, sexy green elf skins, and other costumes. But costuming and cosplay wasn’t the main theme–these pre-Christmas revelers target was a massive downtown to Times Square bar crawl, starting with Stone Street and the South Seaport and walking their way up. The second starting location in Brooklyn quickly made their way into Manhattan across the Brooklyn bridge to join in the frenzy.

The full assembly of Santas

Everyone was in good spirits!

Santa Pimps were the defacto Kings and Queens of the event

Not one, but two+ Jesus (es) showed up
