Enjoy a great weekend with these fun activities all near your neighborhood.
Are you ready for a fist-pumping good time? Tonight, The Jersey Shore’s MTV star Ronnie will be the next VIP to land at Sugar nightclub. Meet and greet the MVP and his crew. But beware: you may have to dodge a few “grenades” and “landmines” during the night.
Then catch another Santa sighting. This time, visit Santa at the Garden City Hotel and meet his busy elves. You can also watch the annual outdoor living nativity with live animals at Redeemer Lutheran Church. And lastly, the annual holiday concert by the Oratory Society of Queens will put you in the mood for the start of Chanukah.
