New York Giants Ticker-Tape Parade - Canyon of Heroes


Date: February 05, 2008
Hours: 11am

Address:
Broadway from Battery Place to City Hall Park, lower Manhattan

Description: The "Canyon of Heroes," New York City's traditional route for ticker-tape parades celebrating heroic accomplishments - from military leaders to Apollo astronauts to World Series champions - will host yet another on February 5 as the city toasts the New York Giants, winners of the National Football League's Super Bowl XLII. The Giants, underdogs entering the Feb. 3 game in Glendale, Arizona, defeated the then-undefeated New England Patriots by a 17-14 score. The parade, scheduled to start at 11am, will progress up lower Broadway from Battery Place to City Hall Park along a route lined with tall office buildings, from which thousands of office workers will throw confetti. The parade culminates with a ceremony at City Hall Plaza
