Santa’s in town? You need an appointment this year
NEW YORK — Santa Claus may be coming to town, but you’ll need a reservation to see him.
At Macy’s flagship store on 34th Street in New York, a chance to sit on Saint Nick’s lap is by appointment only this year, for the first time ever.
Starting Monday, eager families can go online to sign up for a time slot from 30 minutes to five days in advance. Admission is free to Santaland Herald Square and runs from the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve.
Macy’s says the new arrangement is intended to cut down on wait times and make it easier to see the man in the red suit.
