Meanwhile, on 2nd Avenue…
Near East Ninth Street outside the 13th Step … where one Santa has his own Beer Pong kit…

And so much for official SantaCon bars…

EVG reader John notes a free hideaway bed/couch combo on East Eighth Street at Avenue B… but there are some stipulations…
Millions March NYC
The March starts today at 2 in Washington Square Park.
If you're looking for a local group to meet up with, supporters of Good Ole Lower East Side (GOLES) are gathering on Astor Place (near where the cube was) at 1:30 p.m. to convene with the Millions March.
And the route:
BEGIN at Wash Square Park then march north on 5th Ave.
Head west on 14th St. to 6th Ave.,
Turn north on 6th to 32nd St.,
Turn east on 32nd to Broadway,
Head south on Broadway until Worth/Lafayette St. turns,
END at 1PP - NYPD Headquarters
A tribute to Our Lady of Guadalupe
EVG contributor Derek Berg caught part of a small procession this morning down Second Avenue … in honor of the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe …
And they have a lot of nerve to do this on the same day as SantaCon. (C'mon — someone was going to say it.)
Testing, testing
EVG reader William Klayer spotted a preliminary tree lighting last night in Tompkins Square Park … ahead of tomorrow's tree-lightng ceremony between 4-5 p.m.
And maybe they need another strand of lights on the tree?
Sign of the times?
EVG reader Riian Kant-McCormick spotted this outside Elsewhere Espresso on East Sixth Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue this morning…

The 23rd annual Unsilent Night returns tomorrow
[Image via]
Per the official website:
Composer Phil Kline will lead a massive chorus of boomboxes from the West Village to the East Village in the 23rd annual holiday presentation of UNSILENT NIGHT. People gather at the arch in Washington Square Park, and less than an hour and mile later, end up in Tompkins Square Park.
Phil Kline will hand out a limited number of vintage boomboxes from his collection — and cassettes and CD’s for those who bring their own. The public is strongly encouraged to bring their own boom boxes ... and to pre-download the track. Find out more about how to participate and download the tracks here.

Here are details via the EVG inbox...
