This Saturday, December 21, 773 Lounge (773 Coney Island Avenue between Cortelyou and Dorchester Roads) will be serving up some pre-Christmas fun for kids and adults alike. From 4-7pm, 773 will be distributing gifts, coloring books, chicken nuggets, and fries to kids from 4-7pm, with Santa arriving a little after 5pm.

The party is a great opportunity for borrowing some of Old Saint Nick’s giving spirit, too. Those who are able are encouraged to bring a small, wrapped toy marked boy or girl and with the approximate age for which the gift is appropriate.

Margaret of 773 says they will be donating toys via the Flatbush Development Corporation to local kids in need, and that dolls and remote control cars were specially requested this year. If there are toys left over, those will be given to Toys for Tots.

And of course, the drinks will be flowing and the music will be going for the over 21 crowd from 8pm on–so whether or not you’ve got a tyke you’d like to introduce to Santa, you can stop in for a fun and festive time.
