The Upper East Side Informer

So the madness and anticipation is over and my beloved New England Patriots end the football season #EpicFail. Fans take to the streets in all New York neighborhoods rejoicing the marginal victory against New England in Super Bowl XLVI with a final score of 21-17 making Giants Champions. This game precedes the 2008 Super bowl when the Giants first defeated Patriots 17-14.New York Mayor Bloomberg has announced a celebratory Ticker Tape Parade to commence on Tuesday February 7, 2012 at 11 am in Lower Manhattan, beginning at Battery Place and Washington Street and continuing north up the Canyon of Heroes to Worth Street. This had caused a rift since the Giants play in East Rutherford, NJ; and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has even referred to the team as the “New Jersey Giants.” The Huffington Post reported A Quinnipiac University poll found that 75% of New York City adults believe the parade should be in Manhattan. Only approx. 14% we in favor of the parade taking place in New Jersey.Please feel free to comment as to which side of the bridge you think the parade should be…So I can’t believe it Giant’s win again and the whole city is bleeding blue. DNAinfo.com had reported that Upper East Side bar known as “Brady’s Bar” on 2nd Avenue and 82nd Street even changed their name to honor the 2012 MVP’er Eli Manning over Tom Brady.It’s tough being a Patriot in the land of Blue but it’s always amazing to see so many people unite for in the love for the game and their city. It invigorates the Manhattan with a new pulse of energy in what would otherwise be considered somewhat of a dreary month during this time of year.
