A party for puppies dressed as Santa is coming to Columbus Circle

In a world led to ruin by the satanic consumerism of Santacon, only one force can save us: a Holiday Puppy Convention. Next Saturday the 17th, The Turnstyle shopping strip at Columbus Circle will transform into a utopian vision of dog-and-human coexistence for PuppyCon. You can bring your pet for activities, games and pictures with Santa, and even enjoy "dog-friendly" libations—hopefully while you and your companion are getting cozy with other single dog-owner duos. 

The free Christmas event, which runs from noon–3pm, takes place in the insulated Turnstyle shopping area, just below Columbus Circle, so you and your pooch don't have to worry about getting cold.
