Santa Is In Brooklyn — Can You Find Him?
Naughty or nice, here's some of the places where you can find jolly St. Nick across the borough.
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — Santa Claus will be back in Brooklyn this holiday season after a couple of years of COVID-19 restrictions that made it difficult for kids to crawl up on his lap and make their case that they’ve been good boys and girls over the last year.
Visits and pictures with Santa are at the heart of many families’ holiday traditions, but the coronavirus pandemic gave them a lump of coal. Malls and other places took social distancing measures in both 2020 and 2021 to help contain the spread of the virus, moving Santa meet-ups largely online.
Virtual visits are still an option in many places, but there’s nothing quite like seeing jolly old St. Nick live and in person. In Brooklyn, kids have several chances:
