Five Places to See Santa in the Tri-Boro

Santa Claus will be making several special appearances in the tri-boro, with or without Mrs. Claus, this year. Of course, there's one night that many kids care most about seeing Santa, but perhaps they'd like a sneak peak at Santa's 2011 wardrobe? Maybe tell him how "nice" they have been?
