Brace yourself for the hard-partying horde of Father Christmas imitators.
MIDTOWN, NY — Brace yourself, Manhattan. Santa is coming to town.
Come 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8 a mob of Santas will flood Midtown's Plaza 33 on W. 33rd Street near Seventh Avenue for the annual red and white bar crawl.
From there, the Christmas-crazed characters will make a boozy-fueled trek through Manhattan to dozens of watering holes in Midtown and the East Village.
