Offbeat New York Christmas: Meet Mounties!

December 18, 2007 at 11:00 AM | 1 Comment

You've been to see the fat man in the red suit, now meet the ones who only get one four-legged animal to carry them around. For reasons known only to themselves, the Canadian Tourism Commission is sponsoring Mountie Mondays, where even the most jaded of New Yorkers can get their pictures taken with the armed guards of Canada in Bryant Park.

Tell the Mounties what you want for Christmas between 11 am and 2 pm, and between 4 pm and 7 pm on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

    Could this be an excuse

    To let the mounties have a paid week's vacation in NY?
