■LIC FLEA SANTA CLAUS COMES TO TOWN Santa Claus has come to town at the LIC Flea & Food. Father Christmas will be at the popular Long Island City flea market, which made its move to the warehouse connected to the original outdoor lot on the corner of Fifth Street and 46th Avenue, for the remainder of the season. Every Saturday and Sunday through Dec. 21, there will be free pictures with Santa for all kids, and also those who are still children at heart. The LIC Flea Holiday Market includes two floors of a mix of 60 LIC Flea favorite vendors and new faces. There are also two special boutique spots in the inner building. Shoppers will be able to find something for everyone on their lists just in time for the holidays with a selection of unique, local, handcrafted and vintage items.
