New York – a ticker-tape parade for the Giants

Giants prove Patriots can't win 'em all

If Big Blue is your team, do whatever you can to get out to New York and celebrate the win of all super bowl wins. It would be an expensive mad dash to New York, and you would have to leave today, because the victory parade starts tomorrow at 11 a.m. (EST). But if Eli Manning and the boys made your Super Bowl dreams come true last night, be there to welcome them home and celebrate the win. Besides, wouldn’t it just be cool to be a part of an old-fashioned New York City ticker-tape parade?

Where: The parade starts at Broadway at Battery Place and will continue through the financial district. A ceremony will follow at City Hall Plaza.
When: Feb. 5, 2008; 11 a.m. (EST)

Deal or no deal? I just checked prices for leaving today by air from Los Angeles (LAX) and here’s what I found:

Orbitz (flight + hotel): If you’re traveling alone, red-eye flights that leave tonight with one-night accommodations in New York City and a return flight on Wednesday started in the $700s, including taxes. The price went up from there, mostly depending on the hotel. If two people were traveling, you could shave about $100 off per person on the lowest priced packages.

Priceline had round-trip flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to New York City (LGA) on US Airways starting at $518 (including taxes) with a connection in Pittsburgh (PIT).

Good luck, get packing and have fun!

I think the Giants and Patriots game was a good game the both played very well. Tom Brady getting sacked like 8 time i think that was wat was stoping the Patriots and slowing them down. I am happy for Eli Manning because he now has a ring just like his brother Payton Manning did and also he wont eh super bowl the year after. Plus the giants came in to the Super Bowl on a wild card. Everybody thought that the Patriots would stomp the Giants but it ended up beig that the Giants won and shocked the world
WELL DONE GIANTS
