SantaCon hits Manhattan on Dec. 8. While some bars– like the Continental, closing Dec. 14– are letting costumers know “WE LOVE SANTACON!”, other New Yorkers are preparing for the worst. NJ Transit, Metro North, and the LIRR have issued bans on train booze, and New York City Council speaker Corey Johnson has issued a call, albeit only on Twitter, to “BAN OUTLAW QUARANTINE” the annual invasion of Douchey Ol’ St. Nicks.

If you’ve seen our photos from previous years, you already know the East Village is going to get hit hard by the Red Menace, even though one of the crawl’s official rules is “Don’t fuck with NYC.” Now the organizers have confirmed it with a list of official participants that’s heavy on East Village drink dens.

Here, via SantaCon’s website, is where to either avoid or flock to, depending on whether your favorite director is Wes Anderson or Michael Bay.
